Description
The Control Panel Assembly is an OEM part for GE electric clothes dryers. Located at the front of the dryer, it encompasses the digital displays, push buttons, and wiring harness connecting all electronic functions.
As the core command module of the appliance, the panel facilitates cycle selection and monitoring of settings. Its surface-mounted circuit board receives input from buttons to direct dryer operations through output signals.
Causes of failure involve water exposure leading to circuit corrosion, excessive impact events like dropped tools potentially cracking components, or typical wear over 10+ years of continual use.
Symptoms of a bad control panel assembly include:
- Non-responsive or incorrectly responsive buttons
- Failed or blank digital readouts
- Improper cycle sequences despite functioning elements
- Occasional internal electrical connection issues
Replacing with the OEM GE assembly restores the control center and interactive interface. This ensures dependable dryer programming and reliable touch control feedback. Compatible with some Kenmore dryer.
