Determining whether a clothes dryer's electronic moisture sensor bars are dirty or malfunctioning involves observing premature cycle shutoffs and inspecting the metal strips inside the drum. If clothes consistently emerge damp even though the dryer claims the cycle is finished after just ten minutes, the sensors are likely failing to read fabric humidity. You can troubleshoot sensor bars easily by checking for detergent film buildup. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when scrubbing the metal sensor strips with rubbing alcohol to remove invisible residue and running a test cycle restores normal sensor tracking and complete drying performance.
