Dryer randomly changes remaining time or extends the cycle significantly.

Possible Causes

Dirty moisture sensor bars, Overloaded drum, Mixed fabric types, Faulty moisture sensor circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensors.

  • Clean moisture sensor bars: Thoroughly clean the sensor strips inside the drum to ensure accurate readings.
  • Adjust load size: Avoid overloading. Large, dense loads can dry unevenly and cause the control to extend time.
  • Sort fabrics: Dry similar fabrics together. Mixed loads can confuse the sensor.
  • Test timed cycle: If timed cycles behave normally but auto cycles do not, the moisture sensor or control algorithm may be at fault. Replace the sensor assembly if cleaning does not help.
