Auto-Sense / Moisture Detection Miscalibration
The dryer display works, but the time remaining does not count down correctly; the cycle seems to run indefinitely.

Possible Causes
Dirty moisture sensor bars, faulty moisture sensor, control board software miscalculation, very small or mixed loads confusing the sensor.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning sensors.
Steps:
- Clean sensor bars: Wipe the moisture sensor bars with alcohol to remove residue.
- Test with proper load: Run an auto-sense cycle with a medium-sized, similar-fabric load (e.g., all cotton towels) to allow accurate sensing.
- Use timed dry: If auto-sense remains inaccurate, use timed dry cycles until the sensor or control can be serviced.
