How we confirm it first
The bars and their wiring are tested; often cleaning restores them.
What the repair involves
Clean or replace the sensor bars, or repair the harness.
Why it fails
Fabric softener sheets and dryer sheets leave a waxy film on the sensor bars that stops them reading moisture.
How to make it last
Wipe the bars with rubbing alcohol every few months, more often if you use dryer sheets.
Repair or replace?

Free diagnostic when you approve the repair and it's completed; otherwise $89 + tax for a home electric appliance. The written finding shows the part, labour and total before any work. Replaced parts carry a 90-day warranty.
