What SENSOR means

Owners of an ASKO T761 or T781 dryer with the LCD display may see SENSOR on the screen. The usual trigger is laundry that is already dry when a program starts, so the moisture sensor has nothing damp to measure. It is more of a warning than a breakdown, and it clears with a simple step. Both are older models, and we repair them.

Common causes of SENSOR

Dry or nearly dry clothes in the drum when the program starts
An empty drum
A moisture sensor or the wiring to it that reads wrongly

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Opening the door cancels the message. 2. See whether the clothes are damp or already dry. 3. Or cancel the message by turning the power off and then on again. 4. Start the program with a damp load. If SENSOR comes back with wet clothes, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

Whether SENSOR shows only with dry loads or with wet loads too
Whether the sensor bars in the drum are coated or damaged
Whether a replacement part can still be sourced for your model, which we check first

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

SENSORSENSOR questions

What does SENSOR mean on my T761?

The moisture sensor is not getting a reading it can use, most often because the clothes are already dry. Opening the door or restarting the power clears the message.

Is it okay to start a dry load anyway?

The dryer will keep showing SENSOR with dry laundry. Add damp items or use a timed program if your model offers one, and do not run it empty.

What if SENSOR appears with wet clothes?

Then the sensor circuit needs a look. Booking is simple: call us, or fill out the online form, and we agree on a three-hour arrival window with you. You will see the price in writing before we begin, and our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
