Possible Causes
Dirty moisture sensor bars, Faulty moisture sensor, Poor contact between sensor and wiring, Software miscalibration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal wiring.
- Clean sensor bars: Wipe the metal moisture sensor bars inside the drum with white vinegar or alcohol to remove residues.
- Check wiring: From inside the cabinet, inspect the sensor wiring harness and connectors. Reseat and repair as needed.
- Test on timed cycle: Run a timed (non-sensor) cycle. If drying is normal, the issue is likely with the moisture sensor system.
- Replace sensor: If cleaning does not help, replace the moisture sensor assembly. Persistent issues may require a control board update or replacement.
