Possible Causes

Dirty or coated moisture sensor bars, Broken moisture sensor wiring, Failed moisture sensor, Faulty sensor input on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Locate moisture sensor bars: Inside the drum, usually near the lint filter opening, find two metal strips.
  • Clean the sensor bars: Using a soft cloth and a bit of white vinegar or mild detergent, scrub the bars to remove any waxy buildup from dryer sheets or fabric softener. Dry thoroughly.
  • Check wiring: Access the area behind the sensor bars from the front or rear panel. Ensure the wires are securely attached and not broken.
  • Test sensor: Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance across the bars while touching them with a damp cloth; resistance should change. If it remains infinite or unchanged, replace the sensor assembly.
  • If cleaning and sensor replacement do not clear E11, the main PCB's sensor input circuit may be defective and require professional replacement.
