Abstract

A method of operating a laundry treatment appliance includes initiating a drying cycle, the drying cycle including a first goal value of a moisture goal of a laundry load; initiating a sensing process, the sensing process including measuring, via the moisture sensor, a first moisture level within a first predetermined time interval; determining that the first moisture level is above the first goal value within the first predetermined time interval; measuring, as part of the sensing process via the moisture sensor, a second moisture level within a second predetermined time interval subsequent to the first predetermined time interval; determining the second moisture level is greater than the first moisture level; and setting the moisture goal based on determining that the second moisture level is greater than the first moisture level.
