Bush Moisture Sensing / Auto-Dry Inaccuracy

Bush dryer runs but the timer does not count down correctly; cycles end too early or run too long in sensor modes.

Possible Causes

Dirty or coated moisture sensor bars, Poor drum grounding, Faulty moisture sensor module, Control PCB calibration issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal wiring; cleaning sensor bars can be done with power off and door open.

  • Clean sensor bars: Thoroughly clean the metal moisture sensor strips inside the drum with a non-abrasive pad and mild cleaner.
  • Avoid fabric softener overuse: Excess softener can coat sensors. Reduce use or switch to dryer sheets sparingly.
  • Test timed programs: If timed cycles work correctly, the issue is likely with moisture sensing rather than heating.
  • Inspect sensor wiring: Check continuity from the sensor bars to the control PCB. Repair any breaks.
