Sensor Drying Algorithm / Moisture Sensing Issue
Dryer display shows unusually short or long remaining times that do not match actual drying progress

Possible Causes
Dirty moisture sensor bars, Faulty NTC sensor, Software miscalculation due to load type, Poor drum grounding
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensor bars or accessing internal parts.
- Clean moisture sensors: Wipe the metal sensor bars inside the drum with a cloth and mild detergent or vinegar to remove residues.
- Avoid small loads on sensor programs: Very small or mixed loads can confuse the sensor system. Use timed programs for such loads.
- Check NTC sensors: If drying times are erratic and temperatures seem wrong, test the NTC sensors and replace if faulty.
- Factory reset: If available, perform a factory reset of the control to clear any stored anomalies.
