Jay July 17, 2020 for Model Number MDE5500AZW I need to order a console touchpad assembly as per many postings here at your site as my dryer has the exact same "18" display, unresponsive buttons, and chirping issues. I noticed that you have two console assemblies available for this model. Does it really matter which assembly to use? They look identical; are the buttons different? If I order the wrong one, would it still work regardless? Or is the only difference the colour (white or almond)? Could you please clarify? Thanks for your time.
1 Answer Jay, The part number you will need to order is 33002536 and is white. The other assembly is no longer available. Read More...
Val February 08, 2018 Is the led control assy. part # AP4043476 a complete unit ? I smoked my control board and need a new one. It looks to be a lot more $ for just the board.

1 Answer Val, The 33002536 is the console assembly and the key pad panel, it does not contain the LED control board 33003028 . The manufacturer has discontinued all eight (8) control boards(depending on serial number) for the model number you supplied. Read More...
Gregory May 08, 2017 for Model Number MDE5500AYW My dryer is not functioning properly all of a sudden. It chips three times and when i touch any buttons nothing happens. I unplugged and it started once and ran through a fulle cycle. Now I cannot get it to respond to any button touches and the beeping continues when plugged in. Is the LED control assembly suggested? my Serial number is 62454218CC.
1 Answer Hello Gregory. Yes, it sounds like the console 33002536 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Tom July 25, 2016 for Model Number MDE5500AYW Dryer started chirping the other day in 3-5 short bursts, and quit working. By not working I mean it lights up with a time on screen, but will not turn on. After unplugging, and letting the entire display and control unit sit, the dryer ran for about 30 seconds. Loaded clothes and it will not turn on. Question is it a control board or touch panel issue? Control board not available, but touch panel is. It can go into diagnostic mode, but no buttons work after that. Can also enter system check and not buttons work, can enter membrane pad check, but again no buttons work. Thanks
1 Answer Tom, The control touch pad of the unit would be the cause of the unit not operating. This would need to be replaced. Read More...
Tricia June 30, 2016 for Model Number MDG5500AWW My dryer was working perfectly until one day it wouldn't start. All of the lights are on and when I press the start button, I just hear a clicking noise. The dryer will not start. Do I need a new control panel?
1 Answer Hello Tricia. You will need to check for a bad belt or bad thermal fuse on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tom October 16, 2015 for Model Number MDG5500AWW About 3 months ago, half of my led lights on control panel started getting dim, including the start button. We had to press the button numerous times to start machine. Once started everything worked fine, no problems at all. Now the start button light is completely out and we can't start dryer. Can you tell me if I need a new touch pad console, or a whole new control board. I don't mind spending money for touch pad, the whole board probably not so much. thank you
1 Answer Tom, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty touchpad console since it started dimming first then completely failed. Read More...

Troy November 10, 2013 for Model Number MDE5500AYW Is the led control assy. part # AP4043476 a complete unit ? I smoked my control board and need a new one. It looks to be a lot more $ for just the board.
1 Answer Hello Troy. No, the console does not come with the control board. It has to be ordered separately. Read More...
Ed June 15, 2013 for Model Number MDE5500AYW Is there a difference between this part and part # 22004444? I have an MDE5500AYW and want to make sure I order the correct part. Our dryer chirps and changes settings randomly, and is sometimes not responsive to button presses but can still enter diagnostic mode by hold the correct buttons down. Is that a problem with the touchpad assembly or the control board?
1 Answer Ed, The differences between the 2 parts is the series of the part. The series is the first 2 digits of the serial number. If the series number is 10 to 68 then part number 33002536 is the part required and if the series number is 69 or higher then you will use part number 22004444. Read More...
Tina March 13, 2012 for Model Number MDG5500AWW Can we change this ourselves or do we have to have a repairman?
1 Answer Tina, You can do this yourself, you need some basic hand tools and a socket or nut driver set. "CONSOLE REMOVAL 1. Disconnect power to the unit. 2. Remove the four screws securing the console to the rear cover plate.3. Lay a drop cloth across the top cover of the washer. 4. Grasp the top of the console and gently rock the top of the console forward away from the rear console back. Note the hooked tabs on bottom of the console, which engage the slots in the top cover. 5. For reinstallation, reverse the aforementioned steps. MICROPROCESSOR BOARD REMOVAL1. Disconnect power to the dryer. 2. Remove the console assembly. 3. Carefully remove the membrane pad harness and other wires from the microprocessor board."(You also want to label the wires and connectors to ease the re installation). Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
