John F Lancaster , PA December 31, 2016 Constant beeping; would only dry on medium heat; all other buttons didn't function Replaced only the control panel. I did not have to replace the electronic board behind the panel. The most difficult part of the repair was getting the side pieces line up for the screws.

Jeffery H Mundelein , IL November 04, 2016 Appliance: Model KENMORE ELITE (CONTROL PANEL #WP8282546) Defective control panel (possible bad membrane switch) dryer would continuously beep while running and most switches did not work Removed Control Panel and Control Board from top of dryer. Note that the Control Board mounting bracket is glued to the Control Panel (membrane switches) and must be cut free with a knife. Brake Clean did a good job cleaning the remaining residue off the bracket. I used silicon caulk to reattach the bracket to the back of the Control Panel, using clamps to hold in place while it dried. The rest of the repair was pretty straight forward and was easy to reassemble. The new Control Panel fixed the problem and the dryer is operational again.

David K Escondido , CA October 05, 2015 Appliance: Model 110.70092991 Dryer buttons would not respond Since the buttons would light sporadically I suspected that the control panel might need to be replaced. I found the panel on Appliance Parts Pros so I knew what the price for a new one was. Before purchasing I had the problem diagnosed by a repairman (cost - $25). He confirmed it was the control panel and quoted a price of $350. I purchased and installed the panel myself and saved $125. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros! Read More...
