Possible Causes

Coated moisture sensor bars (fabric softener residue), Poor contact between clothes and the sensor due to small loads, Faulty moisture sensor circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal wiring.

Steps:

  • Clean sensor bars: Wipe the metal bars inside the drum with rubbing alcohol and a non-abrasive pad to remove residue.
  • Adjust load size: Use medium to large loads in sensor cycles so that clothes contact the bars.
  • Test with timed dry: If timed dry works normally, the issue is likely with the sensor system; replace the sensor bars or have the control checked if cleaning does not help.
