Mgdx655dw Parts

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

Genuine Whirlpool OEM moisture sensor bar for electric and gas dryers. Works with a second sensor strip to detect humity/moisture as clothes tumble past. The control board reads the signal to determine remaining moisture and ends the cycle automatically at the target dryness level — preventing over-drying and reducing energy use.

Common Failures

• Cycle ends too soon — clothes still damp  
• Dryer won't shut off — runs continuously
• Error codes F:22 or F:26
• Inconsistent results — unpredictable dryness
• Bent, cracked, or detached bar
• Corrosion from dryer sheet chemicals
