How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before internal inspection.

  • Clean sensor bars thoroughly: Remove any residue from the sensor bars using a non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure they are not bridged by lint or detergent film.
  • Inspect for shorts: Check that no metal objects (e.g., bra wires) are stuck across the bars.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the sensor wiring for damage or pinched sections that could cause a short circuit.
  • Use timed cycles: Until the sensor circuit is repaired, use timed drying to avoid over-drying.
