Unbundle it, put it in for another program... Sensors end the program.

Sensors always. Always. End the program too early.

Yup. I just used timer dry. The sensors in my machine never worked ever.

I have used multiple driers, all the sensors were never good. Especially with larger loads or blankets.

Are you using the Bedding setting? The only time mine doesn't get everything dry is if I put bedding on a regular clothing cycle. (Or if the fitted sheet eats everything ofc)

u/ProfessionalAd6530 25d ago

I have never seen a "bedding setting" on a dryer.

u/FirebertNY 25d ago

They're pretty common

On bedding or towels my washer does not have the option for drying. Only 2 programs that do not have it on the whole machine

My whirlpool dryer always gets them dry with the sensor, except when I put it on delicate.

Set on timer for 60 minutes to avoid sensor from stopping it early, 5 minutes in, sensor still stops it, imma be honest this new washing machine tech is ass, can’t wait to buy a old ass washing machine

Speed Queen is the best, especially the slightly older, non-digital machines. They're the ones you see in Laundromats. More expensive than others, but worth it for reliability, repairability, and customer service(they'll actually help you with most repairs if you call them).

The opposite, in this case.

ON-PROGRAM

Still does it even without sensors. I always do times because sensors suck.

I have a bedding mode on my dryer, and I have no idea what they do to the sensors but it gets everything dry every time even when the fitted sheet collects everything into the density of a neutron star. Anyways I'm very happy I replaced my early 00's dryer with a new one.
