Thank you for this DIY video. We have a 12 year old Samsung washer and dryer that have never given us any issues before today. I suspected the sensor was the issue but had not idea where to locate it or how to test it. When I stuck my head in the dryer I found an old dryer sheet had been caught behind the lint trap housing and was completely covering the sensors. I removed the sheet and ran the diagnostic test as described in the video. I am now confident the issue has been resolved.
You're welcome! We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review We hope that you have a great day!
"If the meter shows ohms of resistance, you'll know the sensor has shorted".. this confused the hell out of me until I thought about what should actually be happening here.. I think whoever made this video thought a reading of 1 meant no resistance.. when actually it means the resistance is so high the multimeter can not measure it. So unless I am fundamentally misunderstanding something, the reading should be > max resistance of the multimeter (generally displayed as 1) when no wet cloth is applied
Another video said clean the sensor bars with sandpaper. Scratching the bars will allow buildup and render them useless. Use a Scotch Pad to remove dirt and soap buildup
On my multimeter, the readings are correct with and without wet cloth, but when I switched the test leads, it read some unstable numbers without wet cloth, does this mean it is shortened and bad sensor bars or module? Thanks
Hi, I don’t have a way to test my sensors but I’m having an issue with my dryer stopping usually after 1-2 min of starting it for the first time. I then open and close the door and start it again and it runs the complete time for the cycle. Could it be my sensors?
I am trying to take out the moisture heating sensor. I took out two screws from the front but I cant see any screw inside. How can I take it out. Any possibility there are snaps inside? I have GE dryer and the model number is PDVH515GF0WW. Please help me out

you can also program the computer to a higher level of dry time there 4 levels you forgot to teach us that for some units... and you forgot to show us how to check board if it is getting a single from the bars with your DMM ... if your going to make a video on Moisture bar trouble shooting make a real video not some waste of time like this one man...
Yea this is a very basic and generalized video but for someone that know how to fix everything on a dry but never mess with the moisture bars. I didn’t even know that the fabric softener can leave residue and that it could even mess with the readings. Nothing is wrong with mines. I just got curious. On what it was after the last time I took apart and cleaned out my dryer

Short and to the point … nice
Hey thanks alot , I have being trying to understand this for soooo long, NOW i GOT IT!!
A little bit of rubbing alcohol on the sensors and now I am getting the correct readings. Thanks!

I have a 1996 Maytag Performa Gas dryer does my have those metal strips if where would they be ? I don’t see any .. Thanks
does the dryer have to be unplugged when testing?
Yes

Thanks 🇧🇷
You're welcome!
Mine only has ONE sensor bar!?
The other terminal is probably the drum or the bulkhead.

Lots of things I’d like to say to Johnwhatever … nothing good to say … carry on down the road

They need to bring back the dislike counter being visible. Thank you for saving us time!

You can only adjust time on manual dry not sensor cycles.
@@PatricP_ That depends on the make and model of the dryer, Patrick.
Blind leading blind diagnostic. 🙄
You can disassemble the dryer in order to better access the sensors
Lmao
