During laundry yesterday I noticed the dryer had stopped. When i opened it the clothes were still damp and the panel did not light. I did however notice that the interior light was working. The breaker and recept both proved to be fine. Any suggestions ?
Possible bad connection to the cord, inside the dryer.. unplug it, remove the rear panel, and do a continuity check with a meter.
Dead on accurate. Funny that when I had pulled the unit out a few weeks back to dismantle and clean the lint out of blower and what not i noticed a spark in the back where the cord housing is. I thought it was simply an igniter of sorts and dismissed it. After your advise I pulled the cover and checked the power supply to find out the connections have been corroding. Thanks for your help ! No $200 circuit board needed !!! Wohoo.

inside the control panel is a tech sheet that has some diagnostics on it . there is a membrane button test or something to that effect. I suspect that the start/pause button is the problem and you would need to replace the console w/touchpad.about $130-140 new. there are some used ones on ebay.

you must check if there is power to the element when you have it switch on , , if you have no power to the element , then trace the wiring from the element to a hi limit thermostat , it a small round disc shape item about the size of a 10 cent coin with two connections , remove the wires and check continity accross the two terminals, if it is ok , then check the on and off switch or timer dial , you might see burn marks around the connections , since it trip the circuit breaker

you may have a bad panel but there is on the exhaust ( blower housing a 1 time thermo that can shut the unit down . and this is caused by poor air flow . so ck the termo ( fuse and the air flow . . ) this should correct the problem and then the panel ...mm
