Hello having similar problems as the threads below however with the following observations / differences:
1) Dryer model Samsung DV45K6200EW
2) On any sensor dry setting, machine would run for 3 minutes, then drop to 1, then shutoff.
It is behaving as though it cannot sense wet clothes in the machine
3) Dried cleaning Moisture Sensor ( 90% alcohol )
4) With machine fully disconnected measured 8K ohms between sensor bars ( assuming wiring good - not open and not shorted )
5) With machine plugged in and powered off ... measured about 12V-DC between ground(frame) and each of the bars
6) With machine operating a normal cycle (door switch taped) ... measured about 12V-DC between ground(frame) and each of the bars
7) Dryer works fine on manual cycles - any heat including high and any time setting - machine operates fine.
( I am assuming this would rule out vent blockage, thermistor and heater issues )
8) I tried running a vent blockage test ( Time-up + Dry-Level = Ins ) but getting a C1 code and test does not run
9) Checked vents and general condition - machine is ok clean, nothing terrible
Questions:
1) C1 code seem to indicate there is clothes in the dryer ... but it is empty.
Is this a correct interpretation of the C1.
And how does it sense whether there is load in the dryer
2) Is there a separate diagnostic mode other than the vent blockage test that can be used to specifically test the sensors ?
3) Am I overlooking something else or assumptions are wrong ?

Samsung dryer DV48H7400EW/A2 runs for 2 min then timer drops to 1 min and turns off
Our dryer is acting up. It will run for 2 min then the timer will switch to 1 min and cool down and shut off, it does this in all modes with any heat setting except extra low heat. On extra low heat it will run the full cycle. Looking online seems as though it is probably the thermostat or the...
