Whirlpool 279366 Sensor Kit for Dryer

The Whirlpool 279366 Dryer Sensor Kit is a replacement component compatible with various Whirlpool, Amana, Crosley, and Inglis dryers. It includes sensor bars, pads, and clips that collaborate to detect the dryness of clothes. Positioned inside the dryer drum, the sensor bars come into contact with clothing as they tumble. This kit assesses the moisture content in fabrics and signals the dryer to shut off automatically once the desired dryness is reached. By stopping the drying process at this point, it helps prevent potential damage to clothing. Additionally, the automatic shut-off feature can contribute to energy conservation and reduce utility expenses.
