Have a 2001 kenmore HE3 Elite electric dryer. Done a few repairs myself

Plastic Door handle broke. Repair guy tried crazy glue as repair would be $300ish. Bought the $80 part and did it myself.

Then it stopped drying about 10 years ago. Replaced the moisture sensor. $3.17 part. Worked

Then it started squealing about 4 years ago. Replaced all rollers and belts. $44

Then heat completely died. Replaced the heater coil and thermal fuses. $120ish

Now the towels won’t fully dry. Takes 3 goes. Still heat.

Read online that bounce fabric sheets coat your clothes but also your dryer. Site suggested cleaning moisture sensor with rubbing alcohol once a month. Also cleaning lint trap screen.

So l gave it a try. Amazing how small the pour spaces were in the mesh screening. I used some rubbing alcohol to loosen but found the mr clean eraser sponge helped also. Used both on the moisture sensor.

Now drying some towels. Anyone else find this happened and fixed this way?

Cheers
