The dryer works when I use a timed dry cycle, which to me indicates the dryer is producing heat to dry clothes. I replaced the moisture sensor and the dryer control board, which has not solved the problem. I also make sure the lint trap is clear after every load. Anyone have any other ideas of what the problem could be?

Also check the connections to verify they are not corroded and have a good contact. The moisture sensor works on the premise of shorting out when wet or damp clothes come into contact with it. It thus releases a charge in a capacitor on the dryer control board, preventing the timer from advancing. If the connections are corroded or the wires are not showing continuity the timer will just advance as if the load were dry. This is just one possibility.
