This genuine OEM sensor is also known as a moisture sensor or a humidity sensor. It is found underneath the lint filter in your dryer, and is used to detect the amount of moisture present in the drum. This is to prevent the dryer from running longer than necessary, and will shut off once your laundry has been sufficiently dried. If your dryer is shutting off too soon, or it is running excessively long, there may be an issue with the sensor and it should be replaced. Before beginning this repair, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer. If your dryer has two moisture sensors, we recommend replacing both at the same time to ensure even wear.

How to test moisture sensor
For model number DLEX3900B
Hello Shawn, thank you for your question. To test the Moisture Sensor, set the multimeter’s range dial to the highest setting for ohms of resistance. Contact the black lead to the sensor bar and the red lead to the other bar. If the meter display shows that ohms of resistance are present, you’ll know the sensor has shorted and the component will need to be replaced. We hope this helps.

My dryer is working but not heating at all.. which part should I purchase I'm under the assumption that it's the thermal fuse.. I don't see on the site that u offer it.. Am I not looking correctly..
For model number 76991182310
Hi Sandra, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you check the thermistor, part number FIX16878105, first. The thermistor attaches to the blower housing and monitors and helps regulate the temperature inside the dryer. If it is faulty, you may need to replace it. If there is no issue with the thermistor, you may need to check the blower thermostat, part number FIX8747887. If the blower thermostat is not faulty, you may need to check the moisture sensor, part number FIX3529161. It is found underneath the lint filter in your dryer and is used to detect the amount of moisture present in the drum. This is to prevent the dryer from running longer than necessary and will shut off once your laundry has been sufficiently dried. If the dryer is not heating up, it may be due to the faulty moisture sensor. If the problem persists, you may need to check the gas igniter, part number FIX3527801. The gas igniter lights the gas burner to heat the dryer during the cycle. If it is faulty, the dryer will not heat up, and the igniter may need to be replaced. We hope this solves your problem!
