The AUTO setting of the timer won't advance and won't shut off. For any other setting it works. I mean, I can hear the ticking sound and if I use the Timed setting it will advance and it will shut off as normal.

Within the AUTO setting, if I manually advance the dial to the Cool Down mode, from that point on it will resume ticking and will advance until the OFF position and will shut off.

I already removed and cleaned the moisture sensor inside the drum but didn't make any difference.

It all started like this: the Dryer was working fine. It was drying a heavy load of wet blue jeans... and suddenly it stopped. It seemed as if there was no power going through. I read here that it could be the Thermal Fuse. I by-passed and still wouldn't work. I plugged the thermal fuse again. I openned the door and closed it... press the Start button and I heard a humm noise. I removed all the cloths and it started working!!

I put half the load and it worked but with a very loud grinding noise.

I opened it and found that the felt pad was broken. I replaced it and the drum was working smooth again... but ever since the dryer will not shut off in the AUTO setting.

Any ideas?

Just a follow-up...

Yesterday, when I got home I checked the little board that integrates with the moisture sensor... and it was loose!!!!

I inserted it tightly... and the AUTO function now works!!! Aleluya!!!!

Thanks to the others who suggested to check this.
