If the venting is clear check for a metal sensor on the inside of the dryer somewhere ( looks like 2 metal bars on a plastic bracket) and make sure there is not anything metal touching the 2 sides together. Such as a coin or piece of zipper ect

Venting clear...thoroughly cleaned ductwork and dryer a while back...not sure where to go next. It is drying clothes; just won't shut off. I did notice today that after running over an hour and a half it's not calling for heat and there was still a little dampness on the load. Was set to automatic side...very dry setting. HELP, please!!! I don't want to just throw parts at it to see what sticks... :confused:
