GE Harmony Dryer Touch Screen Failure

Posted by chickadeead (My Page) on

After 2 years of light use (I dry my clothes on a clothes line even in the winter), my GE Harmony dryer touch screen is intermittently not responding to my touch, especially the "okay" button which is required to start every cycle. Has anyone else had this problem? If yes, can you tell me what you did to resolve this? Unfortunately, this dryer is out of warranty and we did not purchase the extended warranty. GE was not helpful at all.

Have you called for service? Have you tried unplugging your machine from the power line for 5-10 mins and then plugging it back in to see if it "reboots" the electronics? It sounds like you need a new screen panel. Isn't all this useless technology wonderful?

I have a dryer that is having the same problem. In order to make it work you have to push the "OK" button (or other buttons on the dislay) slightly above the button. This happened about 2 years ago, shortly after it went out of warranty. It cost abot $185 to get the display replaced. It is now starting to do it again. I think GE has a problem with this display.
