Can't find a schematic, what is it you are having a problem with ?

[align=left]The automatic sensor that detects that the clothes are dry appears to not be working ( that is it does not stop when the clothes are dry). I think it is the part labeled "control electronic" on the sears parts web site. My wiring schematic label is no longer on the back of the dryer. I guess it fell off some time ago. It would be nice to have a schematic to trace out the circuit.

First thing to do is disconnect the vent off the back of the dryer and run a load in it. If it runs fine then you have a vent problem. If that doesn't fix ya post back and we will proceed.

remove the back cover of the dryer and confirm that the sensor bar wire isn't broken. If that looks good, take the cover off the control panel and get out your volt meter.

Locate the timer motor (it will be silver with 2 black wires....it's mounted to the timer)

with the dryer in automatic mode and running and the dryer set to high heat put your meter leads on the 2 black wires on the timer motor.

While the heating element is on you will not see any voltage and when the heating element cycles off via the thermostat through the electronic control you should have 120 volts at the timer motor.

if you do see the voltage cycling on and off at the timer motor and it's srill not advancing then the timer is bad and will have to be replaced. If you never see the voltage then trace your wires from the thermostats to the electronic control.

Yor sensor bars can also be dirty, make sure they dont have a lot of gunk buildup underneath (be really careful if you dissamble the bars from the plastic, this is and old dryer and the plastic is sure to be very brittle)
