Hi, I have a GE Dryer (MODEL: DWXR473ET5WW) that no longer shuts off automatically..it just keeps running. There is heat & the dryer does shut off when the timed drying session is selected. Could someone point me in the right direction. Could it be the cycle thermostat?

Thaks in advance for the help!

One stage of your heater is burned out/broken...
Open the dryer up and remove the drum to view element and confirm.

The difference in the element shown it the tutorial and yours is slight, but worth noting.
Yours will be round with two passes of heater coil...one will be compromised.
