Dryer runs but clothes remain damp at the end of an automatic (sensor) cycle; timed dry works normally.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal wiring.

• Clean sensor bars: Locate the metal moisture sensor bars inside the drum and clean them with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove any film.
• Avoid dryer sheets: Reduce or eliminate dryer sheet use for a few loads to prevent new residue from forming on the sensors.
• Check wiring: Access the back of the sensor bars from inside the cabinet and ensure the wires are securely attached and not broken.
• Test in timed dry: If the dryer heats and dries normally in timed dry but not in sensor cycles, replace the moisture sensor assembly if cleaning does not help.
