Dryer will shut off before the clothes are completely dry using the auto modes. If I use the timed dry the dryer works perfectly. It doesn’t turn off early and works at the correct temperature. Would replacing the temperature sensor be the best thing to replace to fix this? I see another person replaced the sensor for the same issue I’m having but it didn’t fix the problem. Are there more than one part that needs to be replaced?
Hi Javier, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the moisture sensor, part number PS3529161, to fix this issue. We hope this solves your issue!

I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer.

I put my I phone with the light on inside the back of the dryer and tested the connections to see if all were working. The thermal f

I then used a vacuum to clear any lint from the back of the dryer and inside the dryer. This took me about an hour and a half. I did it this way because I did not want to disassemble the entire dryer to get to the components. I received the fuse in 3 days and tested it. It was fine. I then put it in the dryer screwed it in place, connected the wires. Replaced the lint tube. This took about 10 minutes. Dryer is running great.

Found disassembly video and watched several times. Suspected that one of the drum wheels had seized up. Found extreme volume of lint and hair inside unit as well as a dryer sheet melted on top of heating unit. Front left drum wheel was worn down from lint and hair jamming its movement. Video made it easy, not a really complicated piec
... Read moree of machinery. Replaced all 4 wheels due to normal wear on other three. Wanted to be sure drum evenly balanced on all 4. Parts came quickly and were easy to install. My sister and I did this together. Would not recommend doing it alone. Took time to vac and wipe down entire unit. Now it runs so quiet we have to look to see if it is operating. Got a brand new machine out of it, saved a couple of hundred dollars in repair bills, and found 11 cents inside the machine. For your own piece of mind, if you have had your dryer for several years, you need to open it up and clean it out. Its not hard... added note, we are both in our 60's... so if we can do it so can you.... Such a feeling of accomplishment, can't buy that in a store....
