1366029104 Genuine Humidity Sensor for Electrolux Dryers, Dryer Moisture and Dryness Sensor Replacement

Part 1366029104 is a genuine Electrolux humidity sensor for clothes dryers. It lets the dryer judge how damp the load still is, so sensor-controlled programs can stop when the washing is dry rather than running for a fixed time. Electrolux group dryers usually carry the model and product number on a label around the door opening, which is the best way to confirm this number before ordering.

Dryer stopping early or running too long? Check the humidity sensor

The humidity sensor gives the control board a reading of the moisture in the drum or in the air leaving it. If the sensor fails or becomes coated, the dryer misreads the load. Clothes may come out damp after an automatic program that finished early, or the dryer may run on and on, overdrying and wasting power. Some models show a sensor error or ignore the dryness level you selected. A film of fabric softener or lint on the sensor is a common cause, so a gentle clean is worth trying before replacing the part.

Replacing the dryer humidity sensor

Unplug the dryer before you start. Depending on the model, the sensor is reached from inside the door opening, behind the filter housing or by removing a rear or top panel. Photograph the connector, unclip the old sensor and fit the new one in the same position. Clean the lint filter and run an automatic program to check the cycle finishes as it should.

Questions about this part

Can I just clean my humidity sensor?

Sometimes. Lint and softener residue can upset its readings, so a gentle wipe with a soft dry cloth is worth trying first. If the dryer still misjudges dry loads or shows a sensor fault, the sensor itself needs replacing.
