. :D You were right it was the circuit board and it has been ordered. Thank you very much.

I cannot guarantee you that replacing the sensor will fix it (that is the problem with on-line Forums, we are just not present at the machine) but it is highly likely that it will.
Good luck. :D Thank you, you were right and the Maytag Tech and I ordered the part..

I have a Maytag Dryer Model # MED5820TWO that is only 2 years old and when I set it on the sensor side to dry clothes it dries them but doesn't power down to shut off. I am wondering if it is the sensor or the timer? My husband took the back off and we blew any lint and dirt out that we could see. We want to do the repairs ourself but don't want to order parts we don't need.
Thank you
