Possible Causes

Dirty moisture sensor bars, incorrect program selection (e.g., high heat for delicate fabrics), faulty moisture sensor circuit, stuck relay keeping heater on too long.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal sensors.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Clean moisture sensors: Wipe the metal sensor bars inside the drum with a cloth and mild detergent to remove residues.
  • Use correct program: Select appropriate programs for fabric type and load size. Use lower heat and anti-crease options when available.
  • Test timed vs sensor cycles: If over-drying occurs only on sensor cycles, suspect the moisture sensor or control logic.
  • Inspect control board: If the heater appears to stay on continuously, the heater relay may be stuck closed, requiring control board replacement.
