Common dryer repair parts you may need

Replacing one of these dryer parts may fix your problem.

Electronic Control Board Replacement

If the sound and signal functions are not functioning on your dryer, a faulty electronic control board might be the culprit. This board is responsible for sending signals to the control panel to manage sound and signal features. When there's no sound coming from the dryer, it could indicate corrupted internal logic in the electronic control board or a broken internal relay. If your clothes dryer is silent, it's best to have a Sears Home Services Technician inspect your appliance and replace the electronic control board if necessary.

Power Supply Board Replacement

If the display isn't functioning on your dryer, a faulty power supply board might require replacement. This board is responsible for distributing electrical current from the dryer's power cord to various components, including the electronic control board. If the power supply board fails to deliver power to the electronic control board or the control panel, the dryer won't power up. If your dryer is entirely unresponsive, it's advisable to schedule a visit from a Sears Home Services Technician to inspect the appliance. The technician will replace the power supply board if it's found to be defective.

Why doesn't my dryer work?

User Interface Control Replacement

If the sound feature on your dryer's control panel isn't functioning, a malfunctioning user interface control could be the culprit. This control unit is responsible for transmitting signals to the control panel to initiate alarms and sound functions. If the user interface control is defective, it won't send the correct signal to activate sound on the control panel. If you're experiencing issues with the sound on your dryer, it's advisable to schedule repair service. A Sears Home Services Technician will then visit your home to diagnose and resolve the problem.

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.
