I have a GE GDF645SSN3SS and when I was running it the control panel went black but it was still running. It was just starting up so I could hear it run but tried hitting cancel but realize the panel was then dead. I then unplugged it and when I plugged it back in I think it finished draining but then nothing will go back on.

From reading the forum I can confirm:

  1. Circuit board (Square) has a green light on blinking. It seems like its a slow blink unlike others reporting a fast blink which may be another board. Video included.
  2. Almost positive everything else works since it did run until I unplugged it
  3. Checked circuit breaker, plugs etc and everything fine. Since its flashing green I'm assuming no question is has power going to the board
  4. The touch panel on the top is completely dead. No power, nothing works, nothing.
Confused on the flashing light and if that means anything. Does it sound like this is the UI and if so what part should I try?

Thanks in advance!

Here's the service manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15CmFe-hcufL5XUJPsqlEN3AzwDZ6z0M-/view?usp=share_link Look on page 45, it just says continuous flash, it doesn't mention the speed of the flash.

So it says its operating normal, so I'd replace the UI Board is the door wire harness is good. Here's the door wire harness for your model, if needed:

Here's the UI Board for your model: Configured Front Ui Control with Cover WD21X25360

Fixed! Thanks for the help. Id say that anyone with the same issue should buy the wire harness as well as you break the clip that holds the wire harness to the UI board that you remove. Can get away with it but not worth it.
