Moisture sensors are not used to adjust the heat, they are used to adjust the drying time. |

That's right . They measure moisture. I said that the speed queen doesn't have one. I said that the timer moves when the proper temp is reached. It stops when the temp drops and the heater is engaged. Jeesh some people. ;-)

I'm well aware that the thermostat doesn't "know" when the load is dry and this is not what I said. I tried to give a simplified explanation of how this process works in an Auto Dry dryer w/out a moisture sensor, thefixer gave a more thorough explanation. I personally think that this setup works better than a moisture sensor in my experience. I've owned both types of dryers and have found that often moisture sensors turn the dryer off when there are still damp spots on the clothes. This has not been my experience with thermostatically controlled Auto Dry dryers. But some of the older dryers with thermostat Auto Dry did seem to get way too hot. The newer models don't seem to have this problem. My GE Auto Dry with t/stat works excellently, doesn't overdry and never any damp spots in a finished load.
