If drying ends early with damp clothes, check whether the control showed the cycle was complete or whether there was an interruption. Load size and mix, as well as the selected dryness level, can change the automatic shutoff point.
Program ended or unexpected power loss
Keep the message and note whether the panel stays lit. A return to the home screen may mean power off or reset; a thermal error requires a different evaluation than a normal finish.
Check the load and the setting
Check whether you selected a dryness level that leaves moisture for ironing. See whether you mixed delicate items with thicker pieces or whether the load is too small for the model's automatic cycle. The detection system can respond differently depending on contact and distribution.
Not all appliances use accessible moisture sensors or the same calculation method. Clean only the surfaces identified in the manual and do not sand any supposed sensor strips.
An allowed comparison, with no signs of risk
If the manufacturer recommends a test load and configuration, follow them after checking the filters and fit. Do not add time or temperature by instinct when there is excessive heat, odor, or interruptions: see drying overheating.
If it ends early again without the expected result under the allowed conditions, the circuit diagnosis must distinguish detection, circulation, and heat generation. A small load that is judged incorrectly does not confirm a faulty sensor.
Tell service which indicator appears at the end and which clothes are still damp; that helps separate a control decision from a loss of function.
