Description

A thin pad-style moisture sensor that detects wetness levels during the dry cycle and sends signals to the dryer control so the machine can adjust drying time. Replaces a worn or damaged sensor to restore reliable moisture-sensing performance. What it does:

• Detects residual moisture in the drum or on clothing and communicates readings to the control board
• Helps the dryer end cycles when items reach the set dryness level to prevent over-drying
• Common symptoms of a failing pad: long or incomplete drying cycles, clothes still damp at cycle end, or inconsistent auto-dry behavior
• Works as the sensing surface that partners with the dryer's sensing system to measure conductivity/moisture

What's included:

• One sensor pad

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor surface carefully; avoid touching conductive areas with bare hands or tools
• Install in the original mounting location and secure wiring connectors firmly; verify routing to avoid pinching
