Dryer displays F29 and may run but not sense dryness correctly, or may end cycles prematurely.

Safety First: Disconnect power before servicing.

• Step 1 – Inspect inside drum: Look for metal objects (coins, bra wires, etc.) lodged across the moisture sensor bars on the front bulkhead. Remove any debris.
• Step 2 – Clean sensor bars: Thoroughly clean the bars with rubbing alcohol to remove residue that can cause false readings.
• Step 3 – Access sensor wiring: Remove the front panel to inspect the moisture sensor harness. Look for bare wires touching each other or the metal bulkhead. Separate and insulate as needed.
• Step 4 – Test for shorts: With the harness disconnected from the control, check resistance between each sensor lead and chassis ground. There should be no continuity. If there is, locate and correct the short.
• Step 5 – Replace sensor assembly if damaged: If the sensor bars are bent or contacting metal, replace the moisture sensor assembly with an OEM part.

Reassemble and test an automatic cycle to ensure proper moisture sensing and that F29 does not return.
