The dryer dashboard has an erratic behavior it sometimes the buttons activate with a normal press but sometimes it takes several presses and or pressing all the buttons randomly until the lights gets turn on. Is this an idication of a faulty dashboard circuit board or maybe looses connections inside the wiring section. How do i dismantled this unit for troubleshoot

Here is the tech sheet http://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%208546206.pdfHere is a manual. Note I am not sure this is your unit but it should help getting it open. https://secured.whirlpoo...64beaa/$FILE/Duetdry.pdf Try runnig the diagnostics. Check the keypad outputs with a meter. If it checks out OK then the control board is most likely the problem. Note that this is always a bit of a crap shoot as to which whether it is the keypad or the control board. You could also try the following: Unplug the unit Open it up Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board. Clean the edge connector. If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive. Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here. Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. Reconnect everything and give it a try. |
