Why is my dryer stuck on sensing?
So, if it gets stuck in Sensing mode, that means that something has gone wrong with that process, and it can’t start the drying cycle. At first glance, you may be dealing with a problem with the moisture sensor. Just like with previous problems, be sure to check and clean the moisture sensor and see if it works then.
Why isn’t my drying machine working?
Common dryer issues include a faulty door switch or start switch and control problems such as a broken dryer timer or faulty electronic control board: If the drum light doesn’t turn off, a failed door switch is the likely reason the dryer won’t start. A blown thermal fuse often prevents an electric dryer from starting.
Why is my Maytag Neptune dryer not turning on?
If your Maytag dryer won’t start but has power, make sure that the door is fully closed. As a safety precaution, a dryer won’t start if the door isn’t completely shut and latched. Usually, you can hear an audible “click” when the door closes and the latch engages.
Why does my dryer shut off after a few minutes?
The most common cause of a dryer shutting off after a few minutes is a broken or faulty drive belt. The drive belt goes around the dryer drum, idler pulley, and the motor pulley and helps the dryer to rotate when operating. If it is defective, the dryer won’t work correctly.
Why is my dryer not drying my clothes completely?
Check the Air Vent and Duct Clogged air vents are a common cause for poor airflow in clothes dryer systems. One way to see if your dryer’s air vent is clogged is by turning on your dryer and going outside to feel the flow of air leaving the vent.

How does a moisture sensor work in a dryer?
A more advanced (and often more accurate) method uses a dryer moisture sensor in the dryer’s drum. This moisture sensor measures low levels of electrical current being passed through the clothes during the cycle. Wet clothes will allow the current to flow easily.
When does the dryer shut off for the day?
This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
Why does my dryer take so long to dry?
Large loads take longer to dry. A load that is too large for the dryer will not tumble and limits air movement in the dryer. This slows the process of removing moist air out of the dryer, which will result in longer drying cycles.
