Bmxdad for Model Number Kenmore HE3 110.94832201 All settings always thinks the clothes are wet. I have cleaned the electrodes for mositure sensing. I get 3.7v on each lead from the sensors (after the caps) Yellow/red stripe and black/yellow stripe referenced to ground. I applied a wet towel to the sensors and get 1.5v on each lead. I'm not able to get the spec sheet because of current dryer location. Do I need to replace the harness that connects the sensor strips or could it be a main board failure? There are no other issues at this time. So again the problem: Start the machine in auto detect mode and it just continues to run. Cloths are hot, machine cycles correctly, clock stops sometime after 40+ mins and machine says cloths are wet. Even with empty drum. Thanks in advance.
Answer Hello, I would first check the exhaust duct. Since the dryer drum rides on felt seals, if the exhaust is crimped or otherwise restricted, the exhaust will blow past the drum seals putting the heat, lint, and moisture back into the cabinet where it is recirculated back through the clothes. (The vents on the units' back is the air inlet so when the air blows into the cabinet it is a recirculation of the same moisture which was just removed form the clothing).As you can see, this will cause a very long dry cycle and the moisture sensor will sense the same moisture again. Also try running the unit disconnected from the duct. There is a definate problem if it still doesn't advance. If none of this pans out, the main board WP8546219 has probably got a problem. (The tech. sheet should be behind the bottom front panel in a plastic bag). Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, March 27, 2012
