Possible Causes
Clogged moisture sensor bars, Very small load size, Faulty moisture sensor harness, Defective main PCB moisture sensing circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.
- Clean moisture sensor bars: Locate the two metal bars inside the drum (usually near the lint filter). Clean them with a soft cloth and a bit of vinegar or mild detergent to remove fabric softener residue.
- Avoid tiny loads: Use timed dry for very small loads that may not contact the sensor bars consistently.
- Inspect wiring: Access the area behind the sensor bars and check the harness connection to the main PCB.
- Test sensor: If available, use diagnostic mode to test sensor operation. Replace the moisture sensor assembly if it fails.
