I don't have a wiring diagram for this model, but on many of these there is no "sensing" of dryness. Instead the timer moves when the thermostat opens and the heating stops. Since this happens more frequently as the clothes dry, the timer will move more rapidly towards the end. Try replacing the cycling thermostat, this part here. Part number: AP3131939
