Kenmore Dryer 796.69272000 (79669272000, 796 69272000) Parts

The Moisture Sensor Holder is an OEM part for LG dryers. It is designed to securely house the moisture sensor, which detects the moisture level in clothes during drying cycles to adjust drying time and ensure efficient operation.

Causes of a bad moisture sensor holder can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from physical impact, or warping due to exposure to high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor holder include:

• Inaccurate drying times
• Clothes remaining damp after a cycle
• Dryer running longer than necessary
• Sensor falling out of place

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This drying rack sits inside the dryer drum to hold items stationary while warm air circulates around them. It lets you rack-dry shoes and delicates without tumbling, helping prevent banging and scuffing that can happen when items rotate. What it does:

• Provides a stable platform inside the drum for stationary drying
• Allows heated air to circulate around items while preventing tumbling
• Used for shoes, sweaters, hats, and other items approved for rack-dry cycles
• If missing or damaged (cracked frame, broken tabs, poor seating), you may hear rattling or be unable to rack-dry items

• 1 drying rack

• Disconnect power and allow the drum to cool before inserting or removing the rack
• Insert the rear of the rack into the drum supports, then rest the front edge on the door opening; ensure it is level and fully seated
• Load items evenly and do not overload; use the rack-dry or low-heat settings recommended in your owner's manual
• Remove the rack before resuming standard tumble cycles
