Parts for Lg 87140: Sensor Parts

This sensor assembly monitors drum humidity and helps the dryer determine when clothes are dry, improving cycle accuracy and preventing excess drying. It restores proper moisture detection for automatic dry cycles. What it does:

• Detects moisture levels in the dryer drum so the control can end cycles when clothes reach the selected dryness
• Helps prevent over-drying and reduces energy use when working properly
• Can resolve symptoms like long or shortened dry cycles, repeated sensing cycles, or inconsistent dryness
• Interfaces with the dryer control board via its connector to relay humidity readings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and connector gently; avoid pulling on wires—remove and reconnect the harness securely
• Mount and route the sensor as the original part, ensuring good contact with the drum area for accurate readings
• Check wiring and connectors for damage before replacing the sensor

Mounting screw for ovens, ranges, and microwaves. Secures panels, brackets, and internal components. Replace if stripped, missing, or damaged.
