I have a problem with my dryer. It started yesterday. it comes on by itself and just beeps. I shut it off and 15 minutes later had to shut it off again. I tried to turn on the dryer this morning and now it turns on but can not select what dry cycle I want. and doesn't power off either I unplugged it and tried it again and still the same thing. I try to select a heat setting and it won't let me. It won't do anything but turn on and beep. It hasn't flashed any codes Can some one please give me advice. Last time I had a repair man out he said there was nothing wrong with the dryer. and I paid $85.00 for him to tell me there was nothing wrong with the dryer.
