This maching does have a sensor dryness I believe. I was thinking that it might need a new thermastat but there are a few different ones. So which one to use??? I have a lot of difficulty esp with larger loads or if I try to use the highest heat setting. I notice that the time will count down faster then it should for drying the load. Please help me figure this out. Thanks.

Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer (4" diameter hose behind the dryer) and run one or two loads without this hose. If you'll see the better performance and the shorter drying time, then the vent needs cleaning and it'll solve the problem. If this is not an issue then I'd recommend to take the dryer apart and clean it inside from the lint including all air ducts. Also such cleaning must be done every other year to prevent the fire. Good luck. Gene.
