Dryer display shows unusually long remaining times or time jumps up and down during the cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal sensors.

• 1. Clean humidity sensors: Locate the metal strips inside the drum (usually near the filter). Clean them thoroughly with a cloth dampened with white vinegar to remove residues.
• 2. Adjust load size: Avoid very small loads on automatic programs; use time-based programs for single items.
• 3. Sort fabrics: Dry similar fabrics together to improve sensor accuracy.
• 4. When to call a technician: If time estimation remains erratic, the sensor circuit or control board may require professional diagnosis.
