Lately I've noticed that the autodry dial doesn't seem to move like it used to. Sometimes the load can run for 30 minutes and the dial doesn't move at all. It seems to me that the dial used to gradually move throughout the cycle right from the start. I tried the manual setting and at first it seemed that it didn't move there either. Lately the manual setting seems to move OK. I recently replaced the thermal fuse and about a year before that, one of the thermostats. I've vacuumed out the inner dryer works in the back and recently replaced the hose and vent. My guess is that it has a bad autodry sensor, a bad timer, or a bad timer motor (if one is available separately). I searched the parts section for an autodry sensor but didn't find one listed by that name or any similar function. Can you enlighten me?

Well I am flying a little blind here, and you could have a timer problem.
I don't think that model has moisture sensors, and I think the auto cycle is controlled by the thermostat, so before replacing an expensive timer I would replace the thermostats (they should be replaced together even though only one is possibly the problem). Here are the parts

Part number: AP3094244
Part number: AP3094244


If this does not solve the problem your next step would be to try replacing the timer.

Good luck, let us know what happens.

Thanks, as soon as I can get back to it I'll let you know. I think I recently replaced that "kit" a while back when there was no heat. But, I believe I only replaced one of the two thermostats from the kit because it worked after replacing the first one.

Ok, good. They recommend you replace both, but I have to admit I have replaced only one on some occasions.

Thanks for the update
