You should all realize... unless you just like doing a bunch of work for nothing... Stick your head inside the dryer, remove the filter mount and the moisture sensor. Unplug it. Remove, replace and you are done. I'm not sure who made this video but they get paid by the hour I am certain!

@Steve-mo8pn 10 лет назад

Completely agree with you. I did this myself without dissembling the entire machine. It takes 20 minutes or less when you unplug and stick your head inside the dryer to remove the filter amount. I would not try this method if I was to be a larger person.

@shepherdguy 4 года назад

Yep, three screws holding the grill cover, two screws holding the sensor assembly, then unplug and remove. Absolutely no need to remove the entire door.

Right? I thought he was going to deconstruct the whole damn machine. Wat is this video?

@gennalaperla7481 3 года назад

I was thinking the EXACT same thing... why would you do all that extra work for nothing?

@jimmyhwang6828 2 года назад

This is great. Not only I learn how to replace the sensor, but also know how to disassemble the dryer

@anyiel69 Год назад

lol

@Scottocaster6668 3 года назад

I did this in less than 10 minutes!! 4 screws, 2 wires, replaced and cleaned and WALLAH! YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE APART THE WHOLE FRONT END, just the gray lint grate. Shop vac the extra lint you now can get to! 😉

@QuintinJohn 3 года назад

you are amazing !

@TheScottiolla Год назад

I'm watching this video and wondering why they took apart everything!!

@Scottocaster6668 Год назад

@@TheScottiolla idk why either.

@Scottocaster6668 Год назад

@pjcentury4554 4 года назад

Good video, but why did you only replace one of the two moisture sensors?

@FRECHKN 9 лет назад

so much faster and easier to just open the door remove 4 screws and your home. but there's always more ways i like this one because you can clean everything thoroughly.

@repairclinic 9 лет назад

+unitt001 Thank you for your feedback.

@1975murf 10 лет назад

Good Lord! This is a job you need a small woman to do! Why on earth would you nearly completely disassemble the entire dryer to do a job that taking out 4 screws could have done in 10 minutes! OMG! Crazy!

@repairclinic 10 лет назад

That's why we didn't do it that way. Unless you are small, that method is extremely difficult.

@jeas08 10 лет назад

Im a 230 lbs man, and found it quite easy to but my arm inside and remove 4 screws.

@adictcreativephotography5267 4 года назад

jeas08 yep, 3 min job.

@Scottocaster6668 3 года назад

Not at all difficult. While inside the drum, you have places to rest your flashlight also.

@watercool5 2 года назад

Taking the dryer apart makes sense to clean out all the lint that can’t be reached, but yeah, not necessary for this sensor.

@gabrielabinaghipazos 5 лет назад

This video is unuseful! The sensor can be replaced without doing this!!

I have a Maytag Intellidry Dryer (model LDE8606ACE). It recently has stopped automatically shutting off during the Intellidry setting. It drys, but won't shut off. It works on the timed setting, just not the Intellidry setting. Is it a bad moisture sensor? If so, where is it located and how do I change it? (I'm pretty handy, don't be scared.)

@LuisSanchez-jy8dd 4 года назад

If the moisture sensors are bad can it cause the dryer not to heat?

@scotthodges8733 Год назад

Why am I taking the entire dryer apart just ot get to the moisture sensor which is easily accessible inside the drum?

@l.b.7543 2 года назад

Why does Repair clinic only sell one of these instead of the set of 2

@CocoDiorrr Год назад

Is there a picture of how and which way the connections are connected to the metal prongs on the humidity sensor? I'm having issues getting them connected. I took my lint thing apart to clean it out. A picture would be fantastic of a closeup of the connections please anyone! Thank you!

@joaoaraujo1067 5 лет назад

how come he replace only one there's two in there

@cwilsonmusic19 3 года назад

Would a faulty moisture sensor cause the dryer to prematurely switch to cooling mode? I turn on the unit, it dries for about 5 minutes, beeps several times, then switches to cooling mode.

@Talk-Watch-VoiceBoxing Год назад

Does it

@squirrel1179 9 лет назад

Is there any way to test the sensor to know if its bad.

@repairclinic 9 лет назад

squirrel1179 There isn't a test, but they can be inspected to see if one of the sensor bars are damaged or missing.

@pixelabstract1571 3 года назад

Oh Lord! I thought I could do it by myself.

@mdcrab68 11 лет назад

How many sensor are there ? 1 or 2 strips to replace

@Scottocaster6668 3 года назад

@djuggler 3 года назад

How do we know if the moisture sensor needs to be replaced? What's the test?

@veronicamitchell8715 2 года назад

I started researching because what should have been a 50 minute long dry time stopped in 10 minutes or so. I started the load again and watched the time jump from 48 min to to 19 then to 5 in less than 5 minutes.

Brand new whirlpool dryer. Sensor shuts off machine. Outside of bedding is dry, the padding inside still wet. So I duct tape aluminum foil to the sensor bar. Will I break my machine with foil duct taped to the sensor bar? I really don't like this sensor bar. I don't use high heat and I time my stuff perfectly (sometimes I time it bad and slight dampness... in which case another 10 minutes solves the problem). My machine keeps blinking sensing instead of wet. Is there a way to trick it to wet instead of always sensing?

@joanrogers6264 Год назад

I'm curious if you've experienced and issues? I have thought of removing mine completely. It always shuts off for no reason

@repairclinic 11 лет назад

There are two in this model.

@MrJamesjones936 4 года назад

I just cleaned my moister sensors and put them back in and now the dryer has a shutter to it ... any idea?

@Scottocaster6668 3 года назад

Make sure all the screws are tight, and lined up with the holes. Don't strip them.

@GottaFlu 9 лет назад

If i have replaced my Heating element and my dryer is still not drying clothes fully (Humidity kind of effect) could this sensor be the cause?

@repairclinic 9 лет назад

***** Probably not. Normally the problem with a dryer taking too long to dry has to do with poor air flow like a clogged vent or the vent is too long. A thermostat could out of calibration and cutting the heat off prematurely, but we would start with check the air flow.

@QuintinJohn 3 года назад

maybe

@repairclinic 11 лет назад

While this repair can be done without removing the bulkhead, we thought it might be easier for someone with less experience to see what they're doing if it was removed.

@stonefort 6 лет назад

what you should have done is tell everyone how delicate the pastic clips are that you connect to the sensor bar. I spent 30 minutes trying to rig this after I cracked the plastic casing trying to make sure the sensor was securely attached to the bar. So the plastic clip broke. I put electrical tape on , replugged everything. Power works . Sensor light comes on. Im ready to throw it in the street.
