Broken sensor My dryer does not shut off when using moisture sensor modes, but works fine in timer mode. Does the sensor need to be replaced? If so, where is it located?

If your dryer timer isn't advancing and the dryer isn't shutting off, there may be a few possible causes. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and potentially fix the problem: Check the Timer: The timer is responsible for advancing the cycle and shutting off the dryer at the end of the cycle. If the timer is faulty, it may not be advancing properly. To check the timer, try turning it manually to see if it advances. If it doesn't, you may need to replace the timer. Check the Timer Motor: The timer motor is what drives the timer to advance. If the motor is faulty, the timer won't advance. You can use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If it doesn't have continuity, you'll need to replace the motor. Check the Cycling Thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer. If it's faulty, it may not be signaling the timer to advance. You can use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If it doesn't have continuity, you'll need to replace the thermostat. Check the Heating Element: The heating element heats the air inside the dryer. If it's faulty, it may be causing the cycling thermostat to malfunction, which can prevent the timer from advancing. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for continuity. If it doesn't have continuity, you'll need to replace the heating element. Check the Moisture Sensor: Some dryers have a moisture sensor that detects when the clothes are dry and signals the timer to shut off. If the moisture sensor is faulty, it may not be signaling the timer to shut off. You can test the sensor by running the dryer with a wet load and seeing if it shuts off automatically. If it doesn't, you may need to replace the moisture sensor. If you're not comfortable performing these troubleshooting steps yourself, it's best to call a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and fix the problem.

timed cycle mean dryer not on sensor dry mode. check wire connection on moisture sensor bars (i think you forget to put 2 wire connector put together). when you use other cycle dryer use moisture sensor to dry cloths so sensor not working dryer will stop in 5 minutes or so because dryer think there are no wet cloths to dry. hope this help you.

will it shut off if you run it on time only mode?

A timed drying cycle uses the timer alone to stop the drying cycle. Once it times out like an egg timer a set of contacts open up shutting off the dryer. Or a set of contacts closes to activate a relay which in turn shuts off the power.
Auto dry usually uses a moisture sensor which would do the same thing as the timer. Once it doesnt sense moisture in the load for a predetermined time it in turn triggers a relay which shuts the power off. Some auto dry cycles just use the timer alone and guess-timate the drying time by the selection.
If yours does not use a moisture sensor then most likely it is your timer/cycle switch. There may or may not be a relay involved.
Most dryers have a basic wiring diagram on the inside somewhere on one of the panels which will help.
Since yours is acting up on both cycles Im guessing you have a bad relay or connection to that relay somewhere IF it uses a moisture sensor.

Try "timed" cycles. If it shuts off on timed it's not the timer. It's more likely it's not cycling on the thermostat due to an airflow problem like the vent. To rule that out (or in) run ONE load through it with the vent disconnected. If it shuts off you'll know where to look

clean the stainless steel sensor pads located just inside the dryer door with isopropyl alcohol,these sensors register moisture in the garments and adjust drying times accordingly,when you use dryer fabric softener sheets it coats these sensors and throws the system off,make sure to shut off power to unit as this alcohol is very flammable,then leave door open to air out before re-powering up unit

In timed mode, the timer has most likely failed and is not advancing. In auto-drying mode, the timer or the moisture sensor has most likely failed.

The dryer requires cycling of the heat to advance thhe timer on auto dry cycle. see ,link provided parts and repair guidance. Always remove from power supply first.

Faulty selector switch or control card. There is the possibility of a faulty moisture sensor. Can you operate the machine in manual mode ?

It could be the sensor. However, check the exhaust vent for restrictions first. you can test the moisture sensor Damp Dry Test 1. Set the following Timer- DAMP DRY Fabric Care/Temperature switch- COTTON HIGH Wrinkle Guard switch- OFF Signal switch- LOUD Door- must be closed 2. Press the PUSH TO START switch. After approximately 16 seconds, the Timer will start to advance to the OFF position, and the ?End of Cycle? signal will sound. If one or more of these functions do not occur, proceed to the Factory Test. Factory Test The Factory Test allows factory/service personnel to test and verify all inputs to the Even Heat control. The basic operation of this test is to notify the operator with an audible beep every time the status of an input to the control changes state. Activating the Test Mode 1. Set the following configuration: Door- must be open Fabric Care/Temperature switch- AIR FLUFF Signal switch- LOUD Timer- TIMED DRY OR AUTO MOISTURE SESING PLUS selection 2. Turn the Wrinkle Guard switch from OFF to ON three times within a five second period. A single beep will sound to indicate that the factory test mode is activated. NOTE: If any of these initial conditions are not satisfied, the control will not enter the test mode. Test Mode Functionality When the control is in the Factory Test mode, every input change of state will result in a beep (with the exception of the Signal switch). This includes: Door switch Moisture Sensor (short/open Sensor will result in a beep) NOTE: A moistened finger or damp cloth may also be used. Fabric Care/ Temperature switch Wrinkle Guard switch Push to Start (PTS) switch (with the door switch closed) Timer (any cam input change will result in a beep) NOTE: Timer will advance during test. If any of the inputs do not result in a beep, proceed to the following component tests If the dryer shuts off too soon when set to the AUTO MOISTURE SENSING PLUS cycle, check the following: -HARNESS/CONNECTION -MOISTURE SENSOR -THERMISTOR -EVEN HEAT CONTROL Procedure: 1. Test the Moisture Sensor by following the procedure outlined in ?Factory Test?, beginning on page 3. If the Moisture sensor fails the ?Factory Test? (does not produce a beep sound), check the Moisture Sensor. a. If there is continuity to Ground for Yellow/Red (Y/R) wire with no load, look for a short in the Sensor or Y/R wire. Verify harness connections both at the Sensor and the Even Heat control. b. If the Sensor and Y/R wire are good, replace the Even Heat control. 2. If Factory Test passed, verify thermistor by performing test procedures outlined in ?Thermistor Test? 3. If problem persists after replacing Moisture Sensor and thermistor
