Question:

 How can I fix the problem with my dryer's sensor bars?

 

Answer:

To fix the problem with your dryer's sensor bars, follow these steps:

Check if your clothes are coming out slightly damp after a cycle. This may indicate a dirty sensor bar.

Periodically clean the sensor bars, especially if you use dryer sheets or fabric softener sheets. These products can leave a residue on the sensor bars, causing them to malfunction.

Gently clean the sensor bars using a lint-free cloth and rubbing alcohol. This will remove any residue or film buildup, allowing the sensor bars to accurately measure moisture levels in the dryer drum.

 

Terms:

Lint-free cloth - A type of cloth that does not produce lint or small fibers, preventing further contamination of the sensor bars.

Rubbing alcohol - A liquid used for cleaning purposes, often composed of isopropyl alcohol. It effectively removes residue without leaving behind any residue itself.
