Those sensors don't work anyway

Mine does... Both my washer and dryer will take longer or shorter of the alloted timer based on how actually "done" the wash is.

A 20 minute cycle on my dryer might end up finishing after 12 minutes. So it turns off.

And then you have to run it again because that sensor has a very different definition of what "extra dry" means than the rest of the world.

I've owned this dryer for 5 years and had to run a second dry cycle once because a massive sleeping bag was in with some clothes and it was still slightly damp.

But please, continue. I'd love for some dipshit on the Internet to tell me how my own appliances work.

Congratulations, I've used several and none have been worth a shit.
