Just make sure that the machine is unplugged while you do this or you could end up with a big arc and spark.


Thanks a bunch Denman. I just ordered a new dryness display. Hopefully that fixes my problem!

Any way to test it without trial and error with a new board?


It does sound to me like the board also. I have no idea how to test it. I usually carry one, to swap. I am an appliance repair man. With all this electronic, half the time I am a parts changer. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Thanks so much Denman!!! I fixed it for $45 and a few headaches. It was the sensor display board.

You are welcome
Glad to hear that you got it up and running.

And thanks for getting back to us. Now when others search for a similar problem they will see what actually worked instead of just suggestions about what could be the cause.
