Professional Repair Time: 45-60 minutes
DIY Repair Time: 60-90 minutes
Difficulty Rating: Moderate-Advanced (3.5/5) — Requires careful documentation, electrical knowledge, and precise connector reassembly; not recommended for inexperienced DIYers

1. Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet to ensure complete power disconnection. Wait at least 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge.
2. Pull the dryer away from the wall to provide adequate working space. Disconnect the exhaust vent hose from the back of the dryer.
3. Remove the lint screen from the lint trap housing.
4. Remove the top panel by locating and removing the screws at the rear of the top panel (typically 2 screws), or by releasing the spring clips at the front corners using a putty knife. Lift the top panel up and back.
5. Disconnect the console wiring harness if the top panel is hinged and needs to be fully removed.
6. Remove the front panel by locating and removing the screws that secure it to the dryer cabinet (typically 2-4 screws along the top edge beneath the top panel, and sometimes along the bottom edge).
7. Disconnect the door switch wiring harness from the front panel.
8. Carefully pull the front panel forward and away from the dryer cabinet, setting it aside in a safe location.
9. Locate the PCB mounted on the front panel or inside the control housing. It's typically a rectangular circuit board with multiple connectors and electronic components.
10. Take multiple photos of the PCB before disconnecting anything. Document every wire harness connector, its position, color, and orientation. This is critical for proper reassembly.
11. Label each wire harness connector with masking tape and a marker to identify its connection point (e.g., "motor," "heating element," "door switch," "display").
12. Carefully disconnect all wire harness connectors from the PCB one at a time. Pull connectors straight off—do not twist or bend. Some connectors have locking tabs that must be released first.
13. Count the connectors as you disconnect them and verify the count matches your photos. Most dryer PCBs have 4-8 connectors.
14. Remove the mounting screws that secure the PCB to the front panel or control housing (typically 2-4 screws).
15. Carefully lift the old PCB out of the dryer, noting its orientation and position.
16. Inspect the old PCB for visible damage such as burnt components, melted solder, corrosion, moisture damage, or cracked circuit traces. This confirms the diagnosis.
17. Inspect all wire harness connectors for corrosion, melted plastic, or damaged pins. Clean or replace damaged connectors before installing the new PCB.
18. Unpack the new WG04F11675 PCB from its anti-static packaging. Handle the board by the edges only—do not touch electronic components or circuit traces.
19. Compare the new PCB to the old one to verify all connectors, mounting holes, and component layouts match. Ensure you have the correct replacement part.
20. Position the new PCB in the same location and orientation as the old PCB.
21. Secure the PCB with the mounting screws, tightening firmly but not over-tightening (which can crack the circuit board).
22. Reconnect each wire harness connector to the new PCB, matching the labels you applied earlier. Ensure each connector is fully seated and clicks into place.
23. Verify all connections are secure by gently tugging on each connector. None should pull loose.
24. Double-check connector orientation to ensure no connectors are reversed or misaligned. Incorrect connections can damage the new PCB or prevent the dryer from operating.
25. Verify no wires are pinched or kinked between the PCB and the mounting panel.
26. Reinstall the front panel by aligning it with the cabinet and securing all screws.
27. Reconnect the door switch wiring harness to the front panel.
28. Reinstall the top panel by aligning it with the cabinet and securing all screws or clips.
29. Reconnect the console wiring harness if it was disconnected.
30. Reinstall the lint screen in the lint trap housing.
31. Reconnect the exhaust vent hose to the back of the dryer, ensuring it is securely clamped.
32. Push the dryer back into position against the wall.
33. Plug the dryer back in and restore power.
34. Listen for the motor to start within a few seconds of plugging in. The motor should run smoothly without unusual noises.
35. Check the display panel for proper operation. The display should light up and respond to button presses.
36. Run a test cycle (without clothes) on a heat setting for 10-15 minutes to verify proper operation.
37. Verify the heating element activates by feeling the dryer exhaust for warm air. The exhaust should be warm to hot within 2-3 minutes.
38. Verify the motor runs continuously during the cycle and the drum rotates smoothly.
39. Test the door switch by opening the door mid-cycle. The dryer should stop immediately. Close the door and press start—the dryer should resume the cycle.
40. Monitor the dryer for proper cycling of the heating element. On some models, the element should cycle on and off to maintain temperature. On others, it may run continuously.
41. Check for error codes on the display panel. If codes appear, verify all connections are secure and consult the service manual.
42. If the dryer does not start, verify the door switch is functioning and all connectors are fully seated.
43. If the dryer runs but does not heat, verify the heating element connector is secure and the thermal fuse has not blown.
44. If the dryer runs continuously without stopping, verify the timer or cycle control is functioning properly.
45. If problems persist, the issue may be with another component (thermal fuse, heating element, motor, etc.) rather than the PCB. Further diagnosis is required.

Safety Notes: Always unplug the dryer before working on it. PCBs contain capacitors that can store electrical charge—wait at least 5 minutes after unplugging before touching the board. Handle the PCB by the edges only and avoid touching electronic components. Use an anti-static wrist strap if available. Never operate the dryer with the PCB exposed or unsecured.

PCBs are frequently misdiagnosed. Before replacing the PCB, test the thermal fuse, door switch, heating element, motor, and thermostats. A faulty component can mimic PCB failure. Use a multimeter to verify each component is functioning correctly. Replacing a good PCB wastes money and doesn't fix the problem.

Test the thermal fuse first. A blown thermal fuse will prevent the dryer from starting or heating. Test the thermal fuse with a multimeter set to continuity mode. A good fuse shows continuity (0 ohms or a beep); a blown fuse shows infinite resistance. If the fuse is blown, replace it and test again before replacing the PCB.

Verify the door switch is functioning. The door switch is a safety interlock that must be activated for the dryer to start. Test the door switch with a multimeter. When the door is closed, it should show continuity; when open, it should show no continuity. If the switch is faulty, replace it before replacing the PCB.

Check for power supply issues. Verify the dryer is receiving proper voltage (240V AC in North America for electric dryers, 120V AC for gas dryers) at the outlet. Low voltage or power surges can damage the PCB or cause intermittent operation. Use a multimeter to test the outlet voltage.

Inspect for moisture damage. PCBs can fail due to moisture intrusion from condensation, water leaks, or high humidity. Inspect the board for corrosion, water stains, or mineral deposits. If moisture damage is present, identify and fix the source before installing the new PCB, or it will fail too.

Document everything before disconnecting. Take extensive photos of all wire harness connections from multiple angles.

Document everything before disconnecting. Take extensive photos of all wire harness connections from multiple angles. Dryer PCBs have 4-8 connectors, and mixing them up can damage the new board or cause component failures. Your photos are your roadmap for reassembly.

Handle the PCB with extreme care. PCBs are sensitive to static electricity. Touch a grounded metal surface before handling the board, or use an anti-static wrist strap. Never touch electronic components or circuit traces—handle the board by the edges only. Static discharge can damage the board even if it appears to work initially.

This part is non-returnable in most cases. PCBs are typically non-returnable once installed due to the risk of damage from improper installation. Verify compatibility and diagnose thoroughly before ordering to avoid costly mistakes. Always confirm the part number matches your dryer model.

Reset the dryer after installation. After installing the new PCB, unplug the dryer for 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This allows the board to initialize and calibrate. Some models require a specific button sequence to enter diagnostic mode and clear error codes—consult the service manual for your specific model.

Check the heating element for shorts to ground. A shorted heating element can cause the PCB to overheat and fail. Before installing the new PCB, test the heating element with a multimeter. It should show continuity between the two terminals and no continuity to ground (the metal housing). If it shows continuity to ground, replace the heating element before installing the new PCB.

Verify the vent system is clear. A clogged vent system causes the dryer to overheat, which can damage the PCB. Before installing the new PCB, inspect and clean the entire vent system from the dryer to the outdoor hood. Remove lint buildup, check for kinks or crushing, and ensure the outdoor vent flapper opens freely.

This PCB is model-specific. The WG04F11675 is designed for specific GE, Hotpoint, and RCA dryer models. Always verify compatibility before ordering. Using an incorrect PCB can result in non-fit, improper connections, or electrical faults that damage the dryer or the new board.
