Dryer displays F29 and may not start or may stop early in cycle

Safety First: Unplug dryer before servicing.

Steps:

• Visual check: Inspect the moisture sensor bars inside the drum for cracks, breaks, or missing screws.
• Check harness: Access the back side of the sensor bars and ensure the harness is connected and not damaged.
• Continuity test: With the harness disconnected, measure continuity across each bar and its terminal. Replace the sensor assembly if open.
• Clean contacts: Lightly clean the sensor terminals and connectors with electrical contact cleaner if corroded.
• Control board: If the sensor and wiring are intact and F29 persists, the main control board may not be detecting the sensor and could require replacement.
