Dried a load partway in the evening, returned to dryer in the morning to finish load.

Power to the unit, start button is flashing (although it seems to be only half as bright as usual). Pressing start button does nothing.

Checked the thermal fuse, reading 0 ohms.

Test 1: Everything checked out OK.

Test 2: Step 2 referred me to Test 6, which referred me to the Diagnostic test.

Diagnostic test was interesting. I never saw an "88", but I did get "CF" followed by "01". Pressing the same button scrolled through "01", "02", and "03". Don't know if it matters, but "01" was solid while "02" and "03" were flashing.

I then tried the Diagnostic with a different button. This time I got "AF" followed by "on". Pressing the button again went to "oF". "on" was solid, "oF" was flashing.

Make sure the dryer exhaust line is clean all the way to the hood and all ducts inside the dryer and the lint screen are clean as well.

Replace the control board.

- The control board Part number: W10111616
Part number: W10111616

You gotta be kidding me. Another guy that I paid $30 online told me I needed this one:

WHIRLPOOL 8563974 Control, Electronic, AP3957593 | AppliancePartsPros.com

and I ordered it. Did I order the wrong part?

Sorry to bother, but are you sure about the part I need to order? As I said above, someone else led me to believe I needed to order a different part.

The board you referred to is the user interface board. There is very small chance for this part to be bad. I would replace the main control board WHIRLPOOL W10111616 Cntrl - Elec, AP4316847 | AppliancePartsPros.com first.

Keep in mind that if you order any part from APP then you can return it back at any time.
