Dryer display works but shows incorrect remaining time that jumps up or down unexpectedly.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensors.

Step-by-step checks:

• Clean moisture sensors: Wipe the sensor bars inside the drum with vinegar or mild detergent to remove residues.
• Sort loads: Dry similar fabrics together to improve sensor accuracy.
• Use timed programs: For small or mixed loads, use a timed cycle instead of automatic sensor programs.

When to call a technician: If time anomalies are accompanied by poor drying performance, sensor or control faults may need diagnosis.
