Older maytag kd806 clothes damp when it shuts off

It measures the dampness of the clothing by delivering a very low powered electrical charge through the drum. The wet laundry conducts the charge telling the sensor that it is still damp. As the clothing dries the charge is conducted less and less until finally the sensor indicates no moisture.

If this dryer has moisture sensing strips inside the drum I would clean them good with windex. As wet clothes rub against them the dampness tells the control to continue. If buildup from dryer sheets cause a barrier then the control will think them clothes is dry.

sounds like your heating element is going bad

You vent could be the problem. Snow blocking the vent can cause the dryer heat to shut down rapidly. Make sure your vent is open to the outside. Get some windex and clean them moisture sensors inside the machine. If a film developes on them then moisture cannot be detected by the control. It might think the clothes are dry and shut her down.

if it takes too long check your vent

try checking to see if the vent is plugged up, this includes the lent catcher the hose and the outside ait vent.

need to check your vent duct. if clogged it won't let the air flow through the dryer needed to dry your clothes.

most common reason for this would be clogged vent...check all the way in and out!
