Possible Causes
Faulty moisture sensor affecting sensor-dry programs, Incorrect program selection for load, Partial control board failure on specific program outputs
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before sensor or board inspection.
Step-by-step checks:
- Test timed programs: Run a timed (non-sensor) program. If it works normally, the issue is likely with moisture sensing.
- Clean moisture sensors: Clean the sensor bars inside the drum thoroughly.
- Observe behavior: If only one or two specific programs fail, the control board may have a partial fault and require replacement.
