Thanks Mike! That pic was taken in 2012 on our actual 10th anniversary...we became legal in Washington DC. I just like to swap my pic once in a while.

The dryer is set on more dry and hi heat. I may just change the thermistor for the heck of it. Not the end of the world either way. It still does a good job.

Have you tried cleaning the sensor bars with some alcohol? Previous owner may have used dryer sheets, which can sometimes leave a residue on the sensor and lint filter.

I cleaned everything while I had it apart, including those sensor bars with alcohol as that was my first thought. I tested the thermistor and it checked out electronically, but that's not always a guarantee to be correct. Like I said, it ain't the end of the world. I just use timed dry 45-60 mins and all is fine.

Make sure the dryer is leveled in such a way that the closing is actually contacting the sensor bars regularly.

Hey John, Right now it's perfectly level.  I thought about leaning it back a little to see if that would make any difference.

I turned the front feet out about an inch.  I ran one load of towels so far on sensor setting and they were dry.  One thing I notice about this dryer...it seems the drum turns faster than my GE did...the clothes tend to stick to the drum more instead of dropping down.  Still for $20 it does ok.  It has good airflow outside.  On a cold day I can see the steamy exhaust going way out in the yard.
