Auto-Dry Control / Moisture Sensing Issue
Dryer runs but timer does not advance; cycle seems to run indefinitely

Possible Causes
Dirty or faulty moisture sensor bars, Control board not receiving sensor signal, Incorrect program selection for load
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensor bars or accessing the control.
- Clean sensor bars: Wipe the drum moisture sensors with a cloth and white vinegar to remove residues.
- Use timed cycle: Test a timed program. If it completes normally, the issue is likely with moisture sensing rather than heating.
- Check wiring: Inspect the sensor wiring harness for breaks or loose connectors.
- Board diagnosis: If sensors and wiring are good, the control board’s sensor input may be faulty and require replacement.
