Waukee for Model Number Maytag LDE9206ACE Have a Maytag LDE9206ACE electric dryer that seems to be taking longer than usual to dry clothes on the 'sensor' setting. I have replaced dryer vent hose and cleaned the vent (both were essentially clean and only 3 feet long) and all the fuses and T-stats test OK. Since I can't find a sensor for moisture on this model's wiring diagram, I suspect the timer or temp switch. Since I assume you have to remove and heat the temp switch, is there a way to test a timer with a multimeter and rule it out before going to the hassle of removing the temp switch and heating it?
Answer Waukee, In most cases when the unit is taking too long to dry on the sensor setting it will be caused by a faulty cycling thermostat. If the thermostat opens too rapidly or closes too rapidly it will cause the timer to not advance quick enough and will take the unit longer to heat and dry the clothing. Read More...
