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.
