How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control panel.
- Reset the dryer: Leave the dryer unplugged for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect and test. Sometimes transient faults clear with a reset.
- Access control panel: Remove the top cover, then unscrew and gently pull out the control panel assembly.
- Check ribbon cables and connectors: Ensure all plugs between the display/user interface and the main PCB are fully seated and free of corrosion or damage.
- Inspect for moisture or spills: Look for signs of liquid ingress on the control panel. If present, dry thoroughly and clean with isopropyl alcohol.
- Test buttons/knob: If certain keys do not respond, the user interface board may be faulty and require replacement.
- Persistent E9: If wiring and UI board are good, the main control module may need replacement by a technician.
