# Samsung dryer moisture sensor service cost

### Why this figure is a from

Low, because a real share of these are cleaning and advice. Fabric softener leaves a film on the sensor bars that insulates them, and the machine then cannot feel wet fabric.

### What puts your job at the bottom or the top of it

At the bottom: two metal strips, rubbing alcohol and five minutes, plus a conversation about softener. At the top: the sensing circuit or the control that reads it, which is measured rather than swapped.

What moves this figure

from $135, and what changes it

Confirmed on site, agreed in writing

The diagnostic fee credited toward the work

Whether cleaning the bars changes the behavior

If it does, the repair was five minutes and the rest is a habit. If it does not, the sensing circuit is the job.

Stacked, or side by side

A stacked pair has to be separated to reach the back of the lower machine, and in a closet installation that is the largest part of some jobs.

Vented or ventless

A heat-pump dryer is a more expensive machine with more expensive parts, and the repair-or-replace arithmetic is different because of it.

### Is the diagnostic fee charged if I do not go ahead?

Yes — it pays for the diagnosis, which is the work. If you go ahead it comes off the bill, so you pay it once either way.

### Can you give me a price over the phone?

A range, often, and on this make more usefully than most: a code or a blinking-light combination plus a model number narrows it a long way. What we will not do is quote a repair we have not measured.
