Touch console reading a false or held key

Trip the breaker for a couple of minutes so the console logic drops and re-boots cleanly
Thumb every pad in sequence — cooking grease tracked onto the fascia can leave one keying itself
On a top-control door, look for wash-cycle steam beading along the inside top lip where the console lives
When pads fire at random or double up even after drying, retire the console head as an assembly
Pro Diagnostic Tip
The Maytag top-control console rides along the upper door edge, right where steam vents at the end of a heated dry, and that repeated moisture is what corrupts its membrane. After fitting a fresh console, skim a thin line of clear silicone across its top seam so the next dry cannot fog the replacement into the same fault.
