There are 3 ways i know to make the machine work. Press and try all buttons to see if it clears up, Put a heating pad over the display for a few minutes. if these don't work. You will need a new display unit.
Hope this helps.

We moved our neptune dryer to our new cottage and it needed a new hookup. It worked for a while-but now it reads 88 and won't work. Is it the dryer or the electrical?

When the 88 displays, put a heating pad over the display - it will be ready in just a few minutes. Sounds crazy, but it works every time. May take up to 30 or 40 min.

Hi My Neptune gas dryer tries to start for a split second then flashes 88 and goes into complete shutdown then the display comes back on. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The "88 error code" is for a bad control board. Here is a link to the part you need.

Display stuck on 88 and won't start

Try placing a heating pad over the display panel. After about 5-10 minutes the panel will return to normal and the dryer will work.

Won't start. Light are lit, but the 'start' button does nothing.

If the display shows an '88' then place a heating pad over the display. In a few minutes the '88' code will clear, and the dryer will work. Sounds crazy, but it works for me every time.

The lights on the control are on but the dryer will not start.

If the display shows '88' then place a heating pad on the display. Wait for the display to clear (10 - 15 min) and then the dryer will work. Sounds crazy, but it works for me every time.
