-   Same day with 8.8 display problem...3 hours later the panel changed to 50 minutes. Pressed start but unit only started for a second and then stopped, screen blank, then 50 comes back up. Same problem using the sensor start. Timed start didn't work once. Tried timed start and it's running now. Does this sound like a control panel issue?-   AZ Hat Lady

-   8.8 appears on panel - reset breakers with no luck, unplug with no luck. This is the third time this has happened. One time I could use the timed setting to get the unit to work and then the sensor worked fine for months. The second time the display came on after unplugging and sitting for 15 minutes. No solution this time.-   AZ Hat Lady

-   8.8. Code displayed on panel intermittently. Dryer starts after 5 or 6 attempts. -   Guest
We had a very similar problem. Replacement of the control board seemed to have fixed it.
Before replacing, you might want to visually examine the capacitors and resistors located onteh board. One of the two capacitors was leaking and the resistors had overheated.
Good luck.
