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.
