Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensor bars.

Steps:

  • 1. Clean moisture sensor bars: Wipe with a cloth and mild detergent or vinegar to remove residue. Dry thoroughly.
  • 2. Adjust load size: Avoid very small loads on auto-dry; add a few extra items to improve sensor contact.
  • 3. Use timed program: If auto-dry remains inaccurate, use a timed program until the sensor system can be serviced.
