Error Code: 006 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Stuck button on control panel – a button is continuously pressed

How to Fix 006 Error

UNPLUG THE DRYER. This error means a button on the user interface (UI) is stuck.
First, try gently pressing and wiggling each button on the control panel to see if you can free the stuck one. Sometimes wiping the panel with a damp cloth can help.
If that doesn’t work, the UI board needs to be replaced. Access the board by removing the top control console panel.
Disconnect the ribbon cable(s) and any other wire harnesses from the old UI board. Remove its mounting screws.
Install the new UI board, reconnect all wiring, and reassemble the console.
