1. A method of operating a laundry treatment appliance, the laundry treatment appliance comprising a rotatable drum and a moisture sensor provided in the rotatable drum, the method comprising:
initiating a drying cycle, the drying cycle comprising a first goal value of a moisture goal of a laundry load;
initiating a sensing process, the sensing process comprising 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.
