Dryer Heating Element
The heating element is the primary heat source. In electric dryers, the coil can develop a fracture or structural sag that results in reduced heat output or intermittent heating without fully failing. This leads to significantly extended cycle times as the drum fails to reach the required operating temperature to evaporate moisture efficiently.

Dryer Thermistor
The thermistor monitors the exhaust air temperature to regulate the heater's cycling. If the thermistor's resistance has drifted (out of calibration), it may falsely signal the control board that the dryer has reached peak temperature, causing the heater to shut off prematurely. This results in the dryer running for longer periods at lower-than-optimal temperatures.

Moisture Sensor Bars
On 'Sensor Dry' settings, these bars measure the electrical conductivity of the load to determine dampness. Over time, dryer sheets and fabric softeners create a wax-like film on the bars, insulating them. This prevents the sensor from detecting the actual moisture level, often leading the dryer to default to extended run times or terminate cycles with damp clothes.
