Lint filter going off after 5 minutes then shutdown (by 2 users)


posted by Kallyn on Jan 02, 2008


This is a condensation dryer(NO VENT). Is this lint filter sensor the one that is in the bottom of the vent holes(towards heat exchanger) that looks like a metal probe sticking up as you look into the front of the dryer? How about disabling this?
I have the same problem.

Hello folks try this if you have not gotten this resolved. Your dryers have 2 sensor systems, the first one test the clothes for moisture, the second for the heat. The 1 sensor system drops resistance when the wet clothes are put in the dryer. the shutting down after 5 minutes and lint filter light coming on could be that the dryer isn't sensing the moisture. Now for the fun part, the entire inside of the drum and paddles is the moisture sensor. Try cleaning the inside of the drum with a cleaner to remove any detergent or fabric softner residue. This is crucial if you are using fabric softner sheets as they coat the drum. Also wash the lint filter with soap and water so the water goes straight thru instead of puddling up. Remember to also clean the condenser as this can trigger this issue as well. Hope this helps
