That’s why I ignore them all and used the timed dry function. Just make sure to clean the lint trap every single time and you’re good to go.

Last house I rented, when I moved in the dryer lint trap and its housing were so jammed full of lint I could have made a blanket from it. It was astonishing. I don't think the prior tenants knew it needed to be cleaned ever. I honestly wonder how the dryer wasn't broken and no fire had started.

The HVAC filter had a solid inch thick cake of dust and dog fur.

Our apartment was the same way, had a wonderful little rainbow

I've been living in apartments for the past 18 years and this is the first place I've had that the ~~washer~~ drier has a dampness sensor. It took me about 4-5 loads to discover why it would say that there was an hour left and then turn off like 35 minutes later with some stuff still being damp.

Why would a washer need a dampness sensor? Making things wet is what it's supposed to do.

The sensor sucks. I guess it would only dry the outer layer of clothes and be like "yeah, this is good enough".
