How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensor bars.

  • Use appropriate cycles:
    • Use automatic (sensor) cycles instead of long timed cycles for most loads.
  • Clean moisture sensor bars:
    • Wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove residue.
  • Adjust load size:
    • Avoid very small loads in sensor cycles; add a few extra items to improve sensing.
  • Reduce heat setting:
    • Use medium or low heat for delicate fabrics to reduce over-drying.
