Hi. Dryer probably about 5 years old. Started not to dry clothes completely.
It dryes clothes fine with time drying, but any setting relying on the dryer sensing, the clothes dont get completely dry. I"m thinking replacing the sensors, but is there a way to test them? or are there other things I should look at? I did do a deep cleaning for any possible lint, but that didnt look bad. thanks in advance.

Could you be drying mixed loads? You said the timed cycle works OK. That means your heating element is probably OK and your vent too.
I got this from page 51 of the owner manual...
•Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. • Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size. • Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. • Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. • Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
