When we start a cycle the dryer sometimes shuts off in a couple of minutes. I have replaced the timer and board. Is there another sensor or something I should be looking for? Need help

Sounds like the dry sensor. Locate the sensor on the inside of the dryer, against the back waal (drum cover/support), and connect the two wires on the sensor together. Now run the dryer. If it works properly it has a bad sensor. This trick is only for diagnostics though, don't leave it that way. If you leave it this way the dryer will not turn off on its own.
sensor# 279366.
If you are drying to small a load, or running it empty it will act this way too, as there aren't enough wet clothes to contact the sensor...

sometimes the other wire can come loose, but if there is only one terminal then it would be using ground for the other. Usually one wire goes to ground, and one to the control.
