Is there a part that needs to be replaced? Where can I get it and how do I test it?
The main board almost never goes out. If it lights up its probably good. first get a multimeter and check the thermal fuse (its a white oblong plastic piece with 2 wires) for connectivity. if its good, go to the thermal cutoff ( thats attached to the heater housing all way up. 2wires on it as well) Test the same way.
I’d check door switch and thermal fuse before replacing board.
The main electronic board has a fault and needs to be replaced.
The factory warranty on the machines is one year, your best option is to contact the store you got it from and basically make a big deal of it, they have the discretion to get it repaired outside the factory warranty period but sometimes they basically say they don't care.
These boards are no longer made to be repaired, they are made to be swapped out.
you need to look for the error codes chart and find out what is causing the error, it may not be the control board.

Hi-- none of the solutions I've read here are working. Same problem, dryer not starting, it says "Sensing..." and then "Wet" and does nothing. It worked fine on the last load, except I noticed it read 11 minutes for a very, very long time (I think it got stuck). New load? "Sensing..." etc.

Is this something I can replace. The dryer is only 13 months old. Sounds like a defect in the manufacturing to me, there are way too many of these complaints on this site.
