George for Model Number LEQ508PW0

Answer Hello George. The model number you provided is not working. You will need to remove the back panel and unclip the retainer clips and remove the wires off the sensor bar terminals. Then remove the old sensor bars from the unit and install the new ones in revers order. 

David for Model Number 110.86581810

Answer David, If the two metal strips are present on the sensor, you may want to try cleaning the sensor assembly and area with some rubbing alcohol using a cloth or tooth brush. There may be a coating of softner residue on the bars, and cleaning the bars usually solves that issue. If you choose to replace the assembly, you will need to remove the back panel and unclip the retainer clips and remove the wires off the sensor bar terminals. There are still other possibilities, partially restricted vent pipe or hood, and vent thats too short can create an issue as well, there are also the usage cituations, overloaded, mixxed loads, etc. 

Clyde B for Model Number lg7681xsn3

Answer Clyde, The filter signal is there to represent lower air flow than normal. The filter needing to be cleaned would be one reason for this and the other would be a clogged venting system. Try to take the hose off the back of the unit and see if the filter buzzer still comes on. If it does then the blockage is on the dryer side, maybe in the blower wheel. If it does not then the blockage is somewhere between the inside and outside of home.

John for Model Number whirlpool wed5300vw0 dryer

Answer John, This repair is not that difficult, and a basic "do it yourselfer" can perform it. In your case you may have to raise the top and "fish" the sensor bar wires back into the tumbler, through the opening in the rear bulkhead. Then attach them to the terminals on the sensor bars, and mount the assembly with the screw and clip. Mkae sure the bulkhead and screw hole were not danaged when the sensor assembly was pulled out of the wall. Thanks 

Anne for Model Number wgd5900sw0

Answer Anne, The dryness sensor bar is a clip and screw fit. As long as the two stainless steel strips are present on the sensor block. you should be able to tighten the screw and secure the sensor block to the bulkhead. You may need to remove the sensor assembly, and check the mounting hole and bulkhead wall to see if theres damage there, if the wall or screw hole is "stretched" the sensor won't seat and secure properly.
