Clothes dryers have had a history of being energy inefficient ranked only behind the refrigerators and freezers. Like many modern appliances, clothes dryer designed with microprocessor based controllers allow the use of a variety of sensors to ensure proper, safe, and energy-efficient operation. 5C SENSOR magnetic sensor products help make these appliances as reliable as ever. Reed sensors and Hall Effect sensors are both very reliable and will operate over millions of cycles with long-term integrity when used with microprocessor electrical loads. REED devices are operated by a magnetic field. Reed switches and sensors consume no power, while Hall Effect devices are semiconductors and will consume a small amount of current in both the activated and de-activated state.
