You will need to remove the top panel, then the front panel in order to access the dryer interior on this model. With the dryer UNPLUGGED, follow these steps:
1. Locate the screws for the top panel in the REAR of the dryer. With the screws removed, the top panel should slide back, then lift off so you can access the screws holding the front panel in place.
2. Disconnect the door switch connector and any ground wires that may be attached to the front panel. Then, remove the panel screw on each side that holds the front in place. With the screws removed, the panel will lift up, then come off.
You should now have full access to your dryer interior. If you have any questions about this procedure, or if you need additional advice, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

This is a very common problem with this dryer. It could be one of three things. List below is in order of probable cause:
1.) Bad connection between the interface & Control boards.
2.) Interface board. (Front Bezel with all the buttons)
3.) Control board. (under metal cover top left side of unit)
If it was me unplug unit. Remove 3 each screws on back of unit that hold the top on and remove top. Remove screws and open silver box on top left side. With a small screw driver carefully push in on lock tab and pull 2 each flat cable assembly from control bd. Remove silver crossbar at the top near the from 2 screws. Open door pull out and up on front input display bezel carefully. Same process as before remove all cables and reinstall them back in there original location. Then reassemble in reverse order.
