Dryer shows E11; cycle may not start or may end prematurely

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any covers, but cleaning the sensor bars can be done with power off and no disassembly.

• Clean sensor bars: Inside the drum, locate the two metal strips (usually near the lint filter opening). Clean them thoroughly with a non-abrasive sponge and a bit of white vinegar or mild detergent to remove fabric softener residue. Dry completely.
• Avoid dryer sheets: Excessive use of dryer sheets can coat the sensors. Reduce or eliminate their use to prevent future issues.
• Check wiring: If E11 persists, access the area behind the front panel where the sensor bars connect. Inspect the wires and connectors for breaks or corrosion.
• Test sensor circuit: Use a multimeter to check continuity from the sensor bars to the control board. Repair any open circuits.
• Replace sensor module or control: If wiring is intact and cleaning does not help, the moisture sensor module or main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
