The Moisture Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part detects the moisture level in the clothing during the drying cycle, allowing the dryer to adjust the drying time accordingly.
Causes of a bad moisture sensor can include regular wear and tear, buildup of lint or residue, or physical damage.
Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include:
- Clothes taking longer to dry or coming out still damp
- The dryer not stopping when clothes are dry
- The dryer shutting off prematurely
- Inconsistent drying results
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
