I'm sure almost everyone here know that I have a Hoover dryer, D6284 Autosense, but what in the world is Autosense? Tought it could be moisture sensor or something, but it is has timer with minutes, and only one temp. It's very effective, but what is the Autosense "thing"?
My Hoover Autosense D6284...what is Autosense?

It is a sensory system that IIRC reduces the heat when the clothes are at a certain dryness level - however it does continue to tumble until the drying time is up and the clothes are fully dry.
This was a really budget dryer offering sensor drying.

I thought it was another name for 'thermostatic control', meaning that the temperature couldn't get excessive.

I'm quite certain that this drier has no sophisticated electronic monitoring.
The 'Autosense' is merely thermostat(s) monitoring the temperature of the airflow through the internal ducting, switching the heater off and on as necessary.
Cooldown phase and intermittant tumbling at the end of cycle (where fitted), was known as 'Creaseguard'.
Only the top models that matched the Logics / Ecologics / New Wave washers, had moisture sensing.

Creda had similar 'sensadry' models, if I remember correctly.
They were pretty cheap and basic tumble dryers with enamel drums.
I suppose you have to remember that the electronics behind the sensor drying models were very expensive in the 80s and 90s and were only really in top end machines.
Nowadays sensor drying is pretty much a default feature of any dryer, other than the really really cheap and nasty.
I think calling those timer models "sensor" or "sensadry" was rather misleading though. They seemed like they were actual proper sensor dryers with moisture level sensors.
