My electric Roper dryer in 'automatic' advances the dial to 'done' with about half the moisture removed.
I went through the whole machine and de-linted it. It wasn't too bad, as about a year ago, I had a foreign object in the blower, so when i got that out, I cleaned the machine at that time.
Dryer works great in the manual 30 minute HIGH HEAT mode. I can see through the peek a boo hole the elements glowing. But not when in automatic. I realize in this test, there were no damp clothes in it to signal the sensor to make it heat.
I thought when sensors failed, or had high residue build up on the sensor, they just ran and ran, either with or without heat.. this one advances the dial fairly quickly.. Usually less than half hour. Seeing that the heater is functional, blower is clear, and manual mode works good, is it safe to assume it's the moisture sensor?
