Possible Causes
Faulty moisture sensor, Stuck relay on control board, Software glitch, Incorrect cycle selection (e.g., air fluff)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing sensors or the control board.
- Verify cycle type: Ensure you are not using an air-only or extended tumble cycle that behaves differently.
- Clean moisture sensor: Clean the sensor bars with alcohol to ensure accurate readings.
- Power reset: Unplug the dryer for 5–10 minutes to reset the control.
- Observe heater operation: If the heater stays on continuously and the timer does not advance, the control board may have a stuck relay and should be replaced.
If the issue persists across multiple cycles, professional diagnosis of the control board is recommended.
