The 69162 is Kenmore’s current standard-capacity electric dryer, built around sensor-dry moisture detection rather than a fixed timer. Because the sensor strips sit right in the drum path, a residue buildup on them is one of the most common causes of an inaccurate sensor-dry complaint, and it’s worth ruling out before assuming the heating element has failed.
