Possible Causes

Dirty moisture sensor bars, Poor contact on sensor wiring, Software estimation based on load size, Faulty NTC sensor affecting timing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal sensors.

  • Clean moisture sensors: Wipe the metal sensor bars inside the drum with a cloth and mild cleaner to remove residue.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the moisture sensor wiring harness and connectors for secure fit.
  • NTC sensor check: If drying performance is also affected, test the NTC temperature sensor and replace if out of specification.
  • Load size: Be aware that sensor dryers adjust time based on load moisture; small loads may cause time jumps and are normal behavior.
