    Kenmore Elite He4 Dryer stuck on Casual setting
    My Kenmore Elite He4 Dryer is stuck on the "Casual" setting and won't let me change it! How do I reset it so that I can choose my own setting? I've tried holding down the Pause/Cancel button, but nothing happens. HELP! Thanks!

    If this is the touch pad control type, try unpluging the unit for a few seconds and see if that doesn't reset it

    If unplugging it didn't help, then you'll have to get into the machine to try other things. This dryer is basically a Whirlpool Duet dryer. If you want to tear into it, we can try. I have had a couple Duet dryers where it either had a bad control board or user interface. According to the manufacturer, these parts are not testable, which leaves you with a 50/50 shot of being right the first time. So, we can check some ribbon connections if you want to, but if those are okay, you should probably call a servicer. Let me know what you want to do. Thanks.

    Yeah, it now constantly flashes the time and sticks on the Casual setting. I have to unplug it to turn it off! I just bought it 5 days ago, so it's under warranty thank goodness! I called the service center and they are coming out in 2 days.. thanks for responding though!

    Did you ever find the problem? I have the same thing on a dryer that is 4 months old, and it is going to take several weeks to have the warranty repair guy here.
