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.

For all the folks saying to clean the dryer, clearly you never fucked with the LG dryers. They do this shit straight off bat.

My dampness sensors went south a long time ago. Cleaned the whole thing out and everything. I'm also at least the second owner. The contacts in the load selection knob also had worn away from use and I had to repair them. I'll be happy to get another three to five years out of it.
I just use the timed dry now and send slightly smaller loads through. It's much more efficient.
I suspect the manufacturers are gaming the energy efficiency regulations by shutting down early while your cloths are still wet in order to claim that each dryer cycle uses less energy.
Its the low flow toilet debacle all over again. Now you need to run the dryer twice, using even more energy than you would have if it had worked right the first time.
What they specifically do is make the "normal" cycle useless, since the DOE only tests the default cycle setting. Typically the others -- heavy duty, timed dry, etc. -- are as inefficient as they like.
Same deal with clothes washers and dishwashers. Ever look at the energy guide labels on current diahwasher models and notice they're all rated at 270 kWh/yr? That's why. Guess what the minimum to meet Energy Star qualification is.

I think it’s also related to the number of items you put in, and theres a safety setting that doesn’t let it get too hot to prevent fires. I think maybe the cabin gets too hot if there are less items giving off moisture, and so less items will always come out a bit damp.
I had this issue drying underwear, so now I just use an indoor drying rack and air dry. If your heating vents are on the ceiling then you can just place the drying rack under the ceiling vent when you have heat on in the winter :) Air drying is pretty good in the hotter seasons too, might take 24hrs though vs 3-4hrs with heating vent in winter.
