• Supplies power to and drives the front display LEDs/LCD and associated lights.
• Interfaces between the user control buttons/touchpad and the main control board.
• Common replacement for blank or dim displays, unresponsive controls, or intermittent display behavior.
• Can resolve error-code display failures or missing status indicators tied to the display board.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the circuit board by its edges and avoid touching components; observe ESD precautions.
• Reconnect all wire harnesses and mounting hardware securely; confirm display cables are seated.

This main control board is the appliance's central electronics module, also called the main PCB assembly. It manages power and coordinates sensors and user commands so the unit runs correctly, restoring normal operation when the original board fails. What it does

• Controls and coordinates motors, fans, valves, and other components based on inputs
• Processes signals from sensors and the user interface to execute functions
• Manages timing and safety interlocks for reliable operation
• Common symptoms of a failed board: unit won't power on/start, unresponsive or erratic controls/display, intermittent shutdowns, or error codes

• One main PCB assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; avoid ESD by handling the board by the edges and using grounding protection
• Move connectors one at a time to matching positions; transfer any brackets, covers, or jumpers from the original board
• Ensure all plugs are fully seated and the board is mounted securely
• Some models require a control reset or service test after installation—follow the service manual for your model

This safety cover is an internal protective shield used inside the dryer to guard components and help maintain proper airflow. Replacing a cracked or missing cover helps keep wiring and moving parts enclosed for safer operation. What it does:

• Shields internal wiring and components from accidental contact
• Helps channel air and lint flow as designed
• Replaces a damaged, heat-warped, or missing cover
• Helps resolve rattling/vibration noises and visible gaps where the cover mounts

• Includes 1 safety cover

• Unplug the dryer; for gas models, shut off gas and allow the unit to cool
• Access the cover location per your model's service manual; remove panels as needed
• Position the cover correctly and secure using existing hardware/clips
• Do not operate the dryer with the cover removed or loose
