11018215 Bosch Moisture Sensor

The Bosch Moisture Sensor is an OEM replacement part designed for Bosch dryers, including models from Thermador and Gaggenau. Positioned inside the drum, it detects the moisture levels of clothes during the drying cycle. This sensor communicates with the dryer's main control board to adjust the drying time, ensuring clothes reach the desired dryness.

Common reasons for a malfunctioning moisture sensor include wear and tear from regular use, impacts from fast-spinning loads, and mineral buildup that can interfere with the sensor's electronics.

Signs of a faulty moisture sensor include:

- Inaccurate moisture level detection
- Dryer not shutting off at the correct dryness level or over-drying clothes
- Error codes or indicators on the control panel
- Need to manually end drying cycles

Replacing a defective sensor can restore the dryer's efficiency and accuracy, helping to save on energy costs. This genuine Bosch part is also compatible with select Kenmore models.
