Lg dryer moisture sensor replacement.
Auto dry on your lg dryer model dle3170w is a convenient feature that takes the guessing game out of selecting dry times for your laundry.
When drying smaller size loads it may be better to use time dry instead of sensor dry to achieve better drying performance.
Any sensor dry setting allows your lg dryer unit understand how wet your clothes are.
However the sensor can only do its job when it receives a steady connection through the moisture sensor wire harness.

It only took 10 to 15 minutes.
Unfortunately when your appliance begins to experience issues while on auto dry such as over drying your clothes or turning off before your clothes are dry the moisture sensor bar has most likely malfunctioned.

If the wires or damaged or your dryer s sensor isn t doing its job replace the wire harness.
Like another reviewer i did not take dryer apart per video.
