Possible Causes

Dirty moisture sensor bars, Very small or mixed loads confusing sensors, Faulty moisture sensor wiring, Control algorithm issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before internal checks; cleaning sensor bars can be done with power off and door open.

  • Clean sensor bars: Wipe the metal moisture sensor strips inside the drum with white vinegar or mild detergent to remove residues.
  • Use appropriate loads: Avoid very small loads on sensor-dry programs; use timed dry instead for small items.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the moisture sensor wiring behind the front panel for loose connections.
