Dryer runs but timer does not advance in automatic (sensor) cycles

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal components.

• Clean moisture sensor: Wipe the sensor bars inside the drum with a cloth and mild detergent to remove residue.
• Check sensor wiring: Access the sensor harness and ensure all connections are secure and wires are intact.
• Test in timed dry: If the timer advances normally in timed dry but not in auto-dry, the issue is likely with the moisture sensing system.
• Replace sensor or control: If cleaning and wiring checks do not restore function, replace the moisture sensor assembly. If still faulty, the timer or control board may need replacement.
