This Kenmore dryer (100.60092991) has an electronic pad and when plugging in the power cord the power automatically comes on and places 36 minutes of dry time under the Permanent Press cycle and no other options are selectable as it always reverts back to the 36 minutes and Permanent Press cycle. Also, the check lint screen light is on during this time. When pushing start, the dryer will operate under the mode as auto dry and will have some intermittent beebs throught the cycle but will eventually dry the clothes. However, the power remains on to the dryer as when touching the stop button, it reverts back to the 36 minutes. I am currently unplugging the cord to terminate the power to the dryer.

I replaced the main board about 2 years ago and the dryer worked fine until about 3 weeks weeks ago. When it first started, I removed the bottom part of the lint trap and found some sunflower seeds that I removed and the dryer worked fine for another 2 weeks and then started in its current state described above.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

This problem still exists. Sometime the dryer will go a couple of months and not problem at all and then revert back to the problem of the power automatically coming on. The correct model number is 110.60092991.
