Description

These moisture sensor rods detect how damp the load is and signal the control, helping the dryer stop at the right time. Replacing worn or coated rods restores accurate Auto Dry performance and reduces damp loads or overdrying.

• Measures moisture by sensing conductivity across the rods as clothes tumble
• Sends feedback to the timer/control to adjust cycle length on Sensor/Auto Dry
• Safe symptom matches: cycles end too soon or run too long, clothes remain damp, Auto Dry doesn't advance reliably
• Residue from dryer sheets/fabric softener can insulate the rods and affect readings

What's included: Moisture sensor rods Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before servicing
• Access the rods at the front bulkhead/lint filter housing; panel removal may be required on some models
• Remove mounting fasteners, transfer wiring in the same orientation, and secure the new rods
• Ensure the sensing surfaces are clean and unobstructed; test on an Auto Dry cycle

Care tip: If the rods are just coated with residue, cleaning them with rubbing alcohol can improve sensing. Replace if pitted, damaged, or if issues persist.
