Common dryer repair parts you may need

Replacing one of these dryer parts may fix your problem.

Electronic Control Board Replacement

If your dryer's display is inactive, it's possible that a malfunctioning electronic control board is hindering the activation of the control panel. The user interface control board in the control panel is linked to the electronic control board within the dryer via wires. When the electronic control board malfunctions, it fails to transmit power and correct signals to the user interface control and control panel, resulting in the dryer not powering on. If your dryer is unresponsive, seek assistance from a Sears Home Services Technician to address the issue.

How to replace the electronic control board in an electric dryer

Power Supply Board Replacement

If the display isn't functioning on your dryer, a faulty power supply board might require replacement. The power supply board is responsible for distributing electrical current from the dryer's power cord to various components, including the electronic control board. When the power supply board fails to deliver power to the electronic control board or the control panel, the dryer remains inoperative. If your dryer is unresponsive, contact a Sears Home Services Technician to inspect the appliance. If necessary, the technician will replace the defective power supply board.

Why doesn't my dryer work?

User Interface Control Replacement

If the dryer control panel display isn't functioning, a malfunctioning user interface control might be to blame. The user interface control is responsible for providing power and signals to the control panel to operate the display and indicator lights. If the control panel remains unresponsive, contact a Sears Home Services Repair Expert to inspect your dryer. If deemed necessary, the technician will replace the defective user interface control.

What you will see with a dryer display not working diagnosis

Understanding and diagnosing modern appliances without adequate knowledge and training can pose challenges. Attempting to fix issues without employing proper diagnostic methods often leads to guesswork-based part replacements. With appliances advancing significantly, particularly over the last decade, many models feature intricate electronic components that are challenging to assess. As a result, DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are progressively more complex.

Excellent service from Daniel

Daniel provided excellent service and was very quick to perform the repair. I have nothing good to say about the warranty program and the LACK of customer service and the inability to contact a human being to talk.
