So when I try to use the dryer it spins for about 10 seconds, makes the finished buzz sound and stops. After about four or five tries it works. I figure it is the dampness or some other sensor. I called the appliance repair place but when they came it was working fine. Now is is not working again. Any idea on where I can find out how to replace the dampness sensor (which I really think is the problem)?
Some appliance parts distributors have service manuals which will assist you in troubleshooting the unit. The manufacturer may also have similar information, so a visit to their website might help.
Be advised that some stores cater to tradespeople only, and don’t want to deal with Joe Consumer.
Good luck.
Does it have a cycle where it doesn’t use dampness? Time, perhaps?

Well, I woke up this morning, had them clothes dryer blues
My dryer would spin, then all hell would break loose
How can I dry my clothes? Only the lord above knows
(Turnaround)
I called up maytag, kenmore and whirlpool too
I asked em about it, no one knew what I could do
My clothes is wet my wife is gone my dog is dead it’s all true
Don’t know what to do about
these CLOTHES-DRYER BLUEHUES!
Are you drying a normal load of wash, or are you drying a load that has a couple of big heavy things in it? If I am drying wet blankets, or a load with a couple of heavy jeans and some underwear, the automatic sensor doesn’t work too well; the load is under-dried. I’m assuming it has to to with how the clothes brush up against the sensor. In those situations I use timed dry.
