Samsung dryer moisture sensor service
Loads that stop while still damp, or run far longer than they should, with no code at all. The sensor bars inside the drum feel wet fabric touching them, and fabric softener leaves a film on those bars that insulates them — so the dryer believes the load is dry when it is not, or wet when it is not.

How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Clean the bars and test again
Rubbing alcohol on the metal strips inside the drum. If the behavior changes, the repair was five minutes and the rest is advice.
-
02
Clean the bars and run a real load
Rubbing alcohol on the two metal strips, then a normal load rather than a test. If the behavior changes, the repair was five minutes.
-
03
Test the sensing circuit
If clean bars change nothing, the wiring to them or the control that reads them is the question, and that is measured.
-
04
Check the lint screen while we are there
The same film that insulates the bars blocks the screen, and the two arrive together.

Forty-six in the current catalog and three genuinely different machines inside that number: conventional vented electric, vented gas, and the ventless heat-pump dryers that are becoming common in condos where a duct to the outside was never an option. They fail differently, they are priced differently, and only the first two are what most people picture.

About Samsung dryer moisture sensor service
Two metal strips and a film you cannot see
The sensor bars inside the drum feel wet fabric touching them, and that is how the machine knows when to stop. Fabric softener leaves a film on those bars that insulates them, so the dryer believes the load is dry when it is not — or, less often, wet when it is not, and runs for hours. Cleaning them with rubbing alcohol is the first move and it is frequently the whole repair.

Questions about Samsung dryer moisture sensor service
Should I stop using fabric softener?
Not necessarily, but use less of it and clean the bars occasionally. Dryer sheets leave the same film on the lint screen, which is the other half of the same problem.
Will you tell me the price before you start?
Yes, in writing, after the diagnostic and before anything is opened. Every figure on this site is a starting point; the number you agree to is the one you pay.
