Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
