Our Atlantis has begun failing to dry clothes thoroughly on Intellidry settings. The cycle will finish but the clothes are still damp, and it will take two or three times through to thoroughly dry the clothes. I have noticed that the Intellidry cycle finishes quickly, like 20 minutes for a substantial load. Ventilation is fine and the dryer is heating; a load on the timed dry worked fine.

Repairman looked at it and said the heating cycle seemed to be operating properly and perhaps the thermostat is bad.

Before I start replacing parts by trial and error, I wonder if the problem could be the moisture sensor and how difficult a fix this is.

Any thoughts appreciated.

(PS - dryer dried fine until a service call for an awful noise that turned out to be bad rollers. May just be a coincidence but the drying problem started after this service call).

Thank you for this response and helpful explanation about how the dryness sensor works.

I pulled the sensor bar and it had one green wire attached, which I believe is ground. The two contacts at the other end of the bar had no wires attached. I think that when the repairman reassembled the dryer after replacing the rollers, he neglected to reattach the sensor wires. I will have them back out to correct it.

Thanks again.
