Question posted by dlramirez4home on July 28th, 2013

Melted/warped Control Panel

Panel warped from dryer heat about 9 months ago. Still worked great until about a month ago. Would no longer star. Electrical comes on but start button doesn't work. Extended warranty denied claim stating I abused the dryer ( sitting on my covered patio) by leaving it "exposed to the elements". Now I can't even find parts to repair it myself. I don't know exactly what it is called or what part number to enter so I can find it. Any recommendations?
