Whirlpool 22004444 Dryer Control Panel Keypad Membrane Switch OEM Part

I narrowed it to either the control board or the touchpad assy. I did get it to go into diagnostics mode and one time got an error code of 08 which was according to the technical sheet a stuck switch on the the touchpad. So i replaced the led console assy last week and so far so good.

We ordered a new control panel. Fixed it immediately.

We replaced the console assy ourselves and have had a working dryer since!

This is the second time in five year I've had to replace this part. Both times it began with the dryer "chirping " all the time causing us to unplug the dryer between uses. Eventually, the display freezes on pause and will not run. Replacing is quite easy, a few screws in the back and it lifts off attached now only by a ribbon cable. After gently removing the ribbon cable replace the control panel by performing your removal actions in reverse. I did notice the cost of this replacement part has rose about 40 % since I last bought one five years ago. This is a easy repair.

After researching my dryer issue on the internet, I was brought to this website. I confirmed the problem with them. My dryer was working at times but had an irritating beeping sound so I kept it unplugged when not in use. The buttons also did not respond when needed. Eventually, the problem got worse and I broke down and ordered the part. I was hesitant on spending so much on a plastic part. However, I didn't want to go through the trouble and additional expense of buying a new dryer, so in the long run it was well worth it. I received the part very quickly and put it on with NO problems. Unscrewed four screws and unplugged one part and put it back together all in five minutes. Dryer is back to working normally. Easiest repair ever.
