I have an Amana NGD7200 gas dryer. In sensor dry mode, clothes will dry normally (dryer is hot, tumbling, etc.) but the timer adds large increments in time, even near the end of the dry cycle. For example, I caught this problem in action with the time at 5 min left, then it suddenly jumped to 23 min. The clothes are obviously dry when this happens, and I think this cycle might go on forever. I removed and cleaned the moisture sensor (just a couple of metal bars), but the problem persists.

SOURCE: Gas dryer continues to run on the Auto cycle.

try to get the manual for the dryer you got and locate the moisture sensor if this sensor is bad what happen is that the automatic timer thinks that the clothes still wet and continues to dry once the sensor detects no moisture then it shut off the dryer normally is located behind the dryer on the exit line of the air duct and tested for conductivity and see if is good or not

SOURCE: It ignites but does not heat hot enough to

take the exsaust off the back of the dryer and run a load with it dettached and see if this makes a difference and let me know

SOURCE: my dryer seems to take forever to dry the clothes.

you me have a problem with your venting, make sure it is not kinked or blocked outside by a bird nest
