Possible Causes

Dryer temperature too high, Moisture sensor not detecting dryness correctly, Drum not reversing (if designed to), Overloaded drum

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing sensors or controls.

  • Reduce load size: Dry smaller loads to allow clothes to tumble freely.
  • Use appropriate program: Select a lower temperature or delicate dry program for wrinkle-prone fabrics.
  • Clean moisture sensor: Wipe sensor bars with vinegar to restore accurate sensing (see E12).
  • Check drum motion: Ensure the drum rotates smoothly during dry. If it stops or hesitates, inspect the belt and motor.
