Spent 45 minutes chasing a phantom error code on a Whirlpool dryer
Turns out the moisture sensor bar was just caked with fabric softener residue. A quick wipe with rubbing alcohol fixed it instantly. Anyone else waste time on something that simple before checking the obvious?

Buddy of mine spent two hours replacing the belt and pulley on his dryer, cussing the whole time. Finally called his dad who just walked over and cleaned the lint trap. That was the whole problem.

Man I’ve been there. First time I tried fixing my dryer I spent $30 on a new belt and scratched up my knuckles on the pulley before realizing the vent hose was kinked behind the unit. Dad came over, straightened it out, and boom it worked perfect. Now I always check the simple stuff first like the lint trap and the vent hose before touching any tools. Saves you a lot of headache and cussing.
