Dryer Repair

Dryer seems to be working ok other than the fact that it buzzes and shuts off signaling the clothes are dry when the clothes are still a little damp. We can then shut the door turn it on again and the clothes will eventually get dry. We usually use the Very Dry setting with Medium Temperature.
What could the problem be?

Does your dryer have a sensor in it? If so, the sensor bars probably need cleaned. They should be located against the bulkhead near the lint trap. They can be cleaned with a little vinegar or rubbing alcohol & some good elbow grease. Hope that helps!

From reading the manual I see that it has a thermostat that determines how dry the clothes are based on the output temperature of the dryer. The dryer the clothes get the warmer the temp. gets. I wonder if this could be out of calibration?
