Possible Causes
Dirty moisture sensor bars, poor drum grounding, overheating due to blocked airflow, faulty control logic
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before internal checks.
Prevent early shutoff:
- Clean the moisture sensor bars inside the drum with a mild abrasive cleaner to remove residues.
- Ensure the lint filter and exhaust duct are clean to prevent overheating and safety cut-outs.
- Check that the drum grounding brush is intact and making good contact with the drum.
- Try running a timed (non-sensor) program; if this works normally, the issue is likely with moisture sensing rather than heating.
- If the problem persists, the control board’s moisture evaluation circuit may require professional diagnosis.
