Hi everyone, I have a 1968 Kenmore electric dryer, it doesn't have timer, but it has only a moisture sensor and a 5 dryness levels selector. I have a problem with the firsts 3 position, the dryer doesn't stop. If I put at the 4th and 5th position it stop normally but it doesn't dry well. Sometimes the 3th position works and sometimes doesn't work, the dryer keeps working eternally. I don't know if it's a problem of moisture sensor or with the electronic board. I'd like to know if there is someone can help me to fix it. Thank you!

Welcome to the group....and all the way from Brazil!
really nice set you got there...love that control panel setup... behind the control panel should be an adjustment for dryness levels..... had to adjust one I had, as for Heavy loads you set to 1, Normal loads were on 2.....3, 4, and 5 were almost worthless for drying a load.... an adjustment evened things out a bit..... |

Try cleaning the sensor area with rubbing alcohol, I am unaware of any possible adjustment to this control system.
This was a pretty reliable control system, but we did occasionally see a bad control, the circuit board is sealed in a steel can or box, you can carefully open it and spray some contact cleaner on the switching contacts if you want.
