Moisture Sensor
Trouble Symptom
Measurement Condition
Degree of dryness does not match with dry level.
Turn the dryer’s power off, then measure resistance.
Normal Condition
Damping cloth
Metal or Wire
Table 2. IMC Ratio and Display Value / Voltage (IMC: Initial Moisture Content)

70% ~ 40%
40% ~ 20%
10% ~ dried clothes
50 ~ 130
130 ~ 20
205 ~ 240
2.5V
2.0V ~ 4.0V
Over 4.0V
Weight after removing from
washing machine
Damp Dry
Completely-dried clothes
Display Value Voltage (DC) (between 6 Pin terminal
③,⑤
)
Remark
Short with metal to the 6 pin connector’s pin
②
(Blue Wire) and
Pin
④
(Orange Wire) to controller.
When measuring resistance in electrode load,
is resistance below 1
Ω
?
YES
NO
When contacting cloth to electrode:
1. Is the measurement within the range of Table 2
during diagnostic test?
2. Is the measurement within the range of Table 2
when measuring the voltage in the 6 pin connector’s
Pin
③
(BLUE wire) and Pin
⑤
(ORANGE wire)?
YES
NO
• Replace control
and check.
• Check electrode
and harness
connector.
• Check harness-
linking connector.
Take 6pin Connector from
the Controller.
WARNING
• Before measuring resistance, be sure to turn power off, and do voltage discharge. (When discharging,
contact the metal plug of power cord with the earth line.)
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock.
