Product Description
The Whirlpool W10853313 Dryer Moisture Sensor plays a vital role in modern dryers by continuously monitoring the humidity within the drum. This sensor works by using conductive strips that measure the electrical resistance of the tumbling clothes; as clothes dry, their electrical resistance increases, signaling to the dryer's control board that the load is approaching dryness. This elligent feedback system allows the dryer to automatically shut off when the desired dryness level is reached, rather than relying on a fixed timer. This specific moisture sensor is critical for maaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the appliance's automatic drying cycles. When working correctly, it ensures that garments are thoroughly dried without being subjected to excessive heat or prolonged tumbling, which can lead to fabric wear and increased energy consumption. A malfunctioning moisture sensor can result in clothes remaining damp or being over-dried, necessitating replacement to restore proper dryer functionality and protect your laundry. plays a vital role in modern dryers by continuously monitoring the humidity within the drum.
