No such thing as a stupid question, right?

What is that thing in the dryer with the metal grid like thing set into the plastic...it looks like the little buttons on it once said "solid state"... is it to detect eventual dryness of the clothing?

This is the sensor strips that electrically sense the moisture content of the clothing being dried. When manufactures first used electronic sensor systems on dryers they went a little over board but soon learned that it was not necessary to have more than two little sensor strips as they all do today.
