Possible Causes

Dirty or insulated moisture sensor bars, Poor drum grounding, Faulty moisture sensor wiring, Incorrect program selection for load type

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensor contacts.

Sensor cleaning:

  • Locate the moisture sensor bars inside the drum near the door.
  • Clean them thoroughly with a mild abrasive pad to remove any film from fabric softeners.

Grounding and wiring:

  • Check the earth strap from the drum to the chassis for secure connection.
  • Inspect sensor wiring behind the front panel for damage.

Usage:

  • For very small loads or single items, use a timed program instead of sensor-dry, as the sensors may not detect moisture reliably.
