 Got a front load kenmore dryer model # 110.850.81400 that works fine sometimes.....then it'll just die.....no lights...no nothing. Can unplug it and plug it back up...and it still does nothing......check it a few minutes later and it might work fine for a while.

From the tech sheet in the dryer, I did the continuity test from the L1 on the pigtail to the control board and everything checks out fine. Tested all the buttons on the touchpad according to the chart on the tech sheet and they all tested good. Plugged it up and checked to see if there was 110 volts getting to the control board, and it was.

I came to the conclusion that the control board was bad.....replaced control board.

Put the new one in......dryer worked fine for a few minutes.....then it did the same thing again. Checked all the connections with same result. Board is still getting 110 volts to it. And I checked the continuity of the ribbon connection while it was plugged up and it's communicating with the touchpad. Everything points to another bad control board, so I've checked and rechecked everything I can think of.........and have come to the conclusion that I received a bad control board.

Wanted a 2nd opinion before ordering another board.

Thanks so much for any help.
