Whirlpool duet steam dryer just quit with no code. No response to pressing power button or start button. Have some intermittent flashing when pressing the temp control button. One time a code appeared that looked like CFI (not positive). In the past have had the f70 code but got it working by clearing up vents.
You need a new machine control board

Possible door s/w or thermal fuse. If its blowing thermal fuses with a clean and avg vent run check the relay, cycle unit with no heat fuction if the heat still comes on replace the relay board. Call your local servicer.
SOURCE: Whirlpool Duet Steam Dryer Beeps 3 Times But Does Not Start
Brand new unit - same problem. After an hour of investigating, I found the issue.
You don't actually have to SLAM the door. If you look closely, there are 3 separate pins that must latch. One is a simple push-button style which latches no problem.
The others are little prongs at the top and bottom of door. The bottom prong latches cleanly, but the top one will not latch because the door is a bit too flexible.
Close the door normally, then firmly press on the top edge of the door. You will hear the final latch grab, then you press and hold the start button. The dryer starts normally.
Yay!

Make & model # please. When the "time flashes" are you sure it is the time or is it an error code like F3 or maybe F10? Please advise.
SOURCE: my whirlpool duet dryer will not start. Power
Mine isn't stacked and I had the same problem. My husband and I just bought ours last week. I had to close the door and then press on the top of the door to hear another click and it then would start the cycle. I don't know if this is correct or not. I have searched whirlpool web site and not found mention of this. I am calling the department store we purchased ours from to see if this is normal. Hope this helps!
SOURCE: whirlpool duet dryer f70 code
The F70 and F71 error codes on this model of washer indicates a communication problem between the user interface control board and the central control unit (main control board). These error codes can sometimes be caused by a power surge or glitch through the electrical lines. Try unplugging the washer to completely disconnect electrical power. Wait 1 minute and then plug the washer back in to the see if the fault code clears. If it does, then the washer may work normally.
If the code reappears, then you could have a wire harness connection problem, a failed user interface control board or a failed central control unit. I recommend calling a service technician to properly diagnose and repair this type of problem so that the correct component can be replaced.
Be sure your unit is plugged into a 3 prong grounded outlet as well.
F71 is a "heatbeat failure" which means that your front interface control board is shorted and will need to be replaced. it's actually fairly easy to replace and can definitely be done by yourself. To access the part, just pull the unit forward and remove the 3 screws coming in from the back of the top panel. Remove the top panel by pulling it back, up, and off. Then remove all the screws going into the top of the control panel. Remove the dispenser drawer and remove the screws coming in through the dispenser. Remove the screws coming from the inside of the dryer going forward into the control panel, then remove the control panel (it's just clipped in on the bottom. After that you can disconnect the wire harnesses to the front interface control board and replace that part.
