Remove connector J4 on the control board. Measure the sensor bars using a high meter scale, 20 Mohms or 2000 Kohms. It should measure open or a very high resistance, Now place a damp finger or cloth across the sensor bars in the unit. The resistance should drop. If it does not you probably have a bad wire/connection between the sensor bars and the control board. When there is infinite resistance the unit thinks the clothes are dry and advances the timer to shut down. Also not a bad idea to clean/check your vent system, though if it was the problem you should see longer timed dry times.
