Hello AV, I have a 7 year old GAS whirlpool duet dryer (Model W10049550) that decided to stop working. The display seems to be working, but the minute counter starts to flash the moment I press the hold start button. I’ve prepared a quick 3 min video to help you diagnose the problem. Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks for the video! It always help to see what we are talking about. I first part that i suspect would be the door switch. This switch controls the light inside as well as recognizing that the door is closed. The unit is acting as if the door is not shut when you try to start a cycle. That is why it beeps at you and the display blinks when you press start. The dryer recognizes the cycle you have started, that’s why you can not change the cycle after you have pressed start. It blinks and beeps because the switch is bad and not recognizing that the door is closed to start. Try pressing the door switch in and out to see if its stuck. See if the light comes on when you do this. I would check the door switch connection and test the switch for continuity.The model number that you have provided is not valid. With a good model number I can provided a link to order the part and possibly a repair video. Model number should be on the front panel when you open the door. I hope this was helpful!
