Even down to second and sub second periods?
I always thought (assumed) the board had a restrain/timer; in that the dryness pads would have to sense reduced moisture for X amount of minutes before letting the timer run, and then X amount of minutes of moisture before re-activating the timer to prevent short cycling the timer. But I guess I just learned something new! :) | ||

Maybe there is some logic involved but your description of the timer's action seems not. Perhaps someone will come along and clarify. Either way, a mechanical timer must physically run-out the time on the heating cam to cool down and off vs. an electronic control that is fully digital on detecting/counting and reacting to moisture hits. | ||

I have a gas Whirlpool that sounds exactly as you describe.. A rapid clicking and clunking sound. It's slightly annoying but working as designed. | ||

Yup, thats the sound! I rarely use sensor dry, but when I did yesterday and heard it for the first time I became alarmed thinking the dryness control board was malfunctioning. Its comforting to know this is indeed normal. And will not over heat the timer motor.
I will give Whirlpool credit for their sensor dry system, it is IMO one of the best on the market and does the job well. | ||
