How to fix it
- Open the door and clean the two metal moisture sensor strips with rubbing alcohol.
- Stop using fabric softener sheets in the dryer (they leave residue).
- For very small loads, use timed dry instead of sensor cycles.
- Clean the lint screen and inspect the exhaust vent.
- Run a test sensor cycle to verify Ed clears.
Why it happens
Typical signs: Ed shown at end of cycle · Clothes still damp · Short auto-dry cycles
- Coated moisture sensor bars Fabric softener residue insulating the bars — most common cause.
- Small load with sensor Load too small to consistently touch the moisture bars.
- Restricted airflow Clogged vent causing early thermal shutdown.
