Abstract: A dryer appliance and a method of detecting a moisture content of clothes in the dryer appliance are provided. The dryer appliance includes a top bearing positioned proximate a front of a rotating drum and temperature and humidity sensors positioned behind the top bearing for measuring a chamber temperature and humidity as well as a temperature sensor for measuring the exhaust temperature. A controller implements a method of detecting the moisture content of clothes within the drum by obtaining the chamber and exhaust temperatures and the chamber humidity, estimating the moisture content using these values, and adjusting at least one operating parameter of the dryer appliance in response to the estimated moisture content of the clothes.
