Bosch Premature Cycle Termination / Moisture Sensing Error

Bosch dryer ends cycle very quickly and clothes are still wet.

Possible Causes

Dirty moisture sensor bars, Poor contact between clothes and sensor (very small loads), Faulty moisture sensor wiring, Defective control board

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing sensor wiring.

Clean sensor bars: Thoroughly clean with rubbing alcohol.
Adjust load size: Avoid running a single small item; add a few similar items so they contact the sensor bars.
Inspect wiring: Check sensor harness for loose or broken wires.

If the issue persists, the moisture sensor assembly or control board may need replacement.
