It should not be the moisture sensor as it and it’s electronic control just control the advancing of the timer.

Sounds like it may be a timer problem. It is the only part that actually changes things between timed and auto cycles.

Set the unit to auto, mid cycle and then open the door to stop the unit.
Unplug the unit.
Remove the wires from one side of Timer Switch 2 on the timer.
This ensures that you do not read an alternate/parallel circuit path.
Then measure across Timer Switch 2 with a meter.
It should be 0 ohms.
