It is doing this on the automatic regular "more dry" setting". I don't know yet if it has this problem using other settings. Any suggestions in the meantime as to what the problem might be? Thanks, Glenn

I tried running the dryer empty so it could come up to temperature quickly; I don't think it is properly detecting when it reaches this temperature. I think my best bet will be to try replacing the dryer cycling thermostat. Thoughts? Thanks, Glenn
