    Default Kenmore Dryer buzzing dry but clothes still wet

    Kenmore 90 Plus model 110.68932791 buzzes dry after only a few minutes into Auto Dry cycle. This only occurs on the second load of a busy laundry day. The first Auto Dry batch dries fine. When this occurs, we change to timed cycle to dry the load. It seems the hotter the dryer is on the second load, the quicker it incorectly buzzes dry. I think it is the moisture sensor, but I can find no such identification name on the parts list. There is something called an "electrode sensor" part 3387223 , but I don't know if this is the item. Much thanks for any help

    Yes, thats the Moisture sensor bar .

    But I would first check to make sure you don't have a lint build up under your filter, or inside the dryer itself, or through the exhaust hose that blows the hot air outside.

    These links explains more about it:
