Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

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

• 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

This sensor rod is the temperature-sensing probe used to monitor oven/cooking cavity temperature, helping the appliance regulate heat for consistent cooking results. It replaces a damaged or failed probe to restore accurate temperature feedback. What it does:

• Reads internal oven or cavity temperature and sends the signal to the control board
• Enables the oven to maintain set temperatures and complete programmed cycles
• Can cause temperature errors or incorrect cooking if cracked, corroded, or open/shorted
• Matches the original mounting style and wiring interface for direct replacement when specified

• Power off and unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Handle the probe carefully; avoid bending or contaminating the sensing element
• Verify connector orientation and secure wiring; test oven control operation after installation
