Where are the drying sensors on a Samsung dryer, Samsung dryers have moisture sensors also called drying sensors that detect moisture level to automatically stop cycle when clothes dry. Location, moisture sensor bars are located inside drum near lint filter housing, at front inside drum just below lint filter opening, you will see two silver metal strips or bars about 4 inches long side by side inside drum front edge, these are moisture sensors that touch clothes as drum rotates. Samsung dryers also have thermistors and thermostats for temperature sensing, located near heating element at back behind drum, and high limit thermostat near heater housing. For gas models, flame sensor near burner. To clean moisture sensors, wipe silver bars with rubbing alcohol to remove fabric softener residue that can cause inaccurate sensing and clothes still damp. If dryer not auto drying, clean sensors. If sensors fail, dryer may overdry or underdry. Replacement sensor part DC32-00007 costs $20 to $30. Always unplug dryer before accessing sensors. Check manual for your model like DVE45R6100 for diagram.
