Possible Causes

Contaminated moisture sensor bars, poor drum grounding, faulty moisture sensing circuit on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before internal checks.

Restore accurate moisture sensing:

  • Clean the moisture sensor bars inside the drum with a mild abrasive cleaner (e.g., vinegar solution) to remove waxy softener residues.
  • Check that the drum is properly grounded via the carbon brush or grounding strap; inspect and replace if worn.
  • Inspect the wiring from the sensor bars to the control board for continuity.
  • If clothes still remain damp while the dryer reports them dry, or F19 persists, the control’s moisture sensing circuit may be defective and require board replacement.
