Whirlpool duet dryer control panel lights up

My whirlpool duet dryer that is 6 years old has been doing some strange
things lately? It has been coming on by itself, the control panel will come on and light up and also beep? Is this a mother board problem or could it be something else? If anyone could help me i would appreciate it! thanks

My dryer just started doing the same thing. I thought I was going crazy because of the “beep” I knew I didn’t have anything in the dryer. I have Googled this & searched for an answer but to no avail. I hope someone can help us! Until then, I will unplug - even though I have to stand on my head to reach the outlet.
