Dryer runs continuously and does not stop on automatic programs; clothes become over-dried.

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the sensor circuit.

• Inspect sensor bars: Check for metal objects (e.g., coins) stuck across the bars. Clean the bars to remove any conductive residue.
• Check wiring for shorts: Inspect the sensor wiring harness for pinched or damaged insulation causing a short.
• Test sensor circuit: With the sensor disconnected, run a test cycle. If the dryer behaves normally, the sensor or wiring is at fault and should be repaired or replaced.
• If issue persists with sensor disconnected: The main PCB may be misinterpreting signals and require replacement.
