You might disable the sensor and simply turn the dryer off when the
clothes are done.

Am thinking that may be the eventual solution, if that will even work.
I'm assuming that shorting the connectors together tricks the board into
thinking that your clothes are f'ing damp and will keep it running?
(but then it'll likely never shut off, yes, so you'd have to go check on
it? *i.e. if you had something in there that wouldn't wrinkle like a
load of towels or something you couldn't start the dryer and leave the
house as it'd likely run forever... *not sure I want to do that, that
could create a dangerous situation when others use the dryer)

In response to others asking about pure timed dry cycles, most of the
buttons on the front of this are for pre-programmed moisture sensor
cycles, however I discovered after dl'ing the manual that hitting one of
them to select the basic parameters of the drying cycle (heat setting,
estimated time, etc.) then hitting "more time" or "less time" will then
turn the cycle into a timed dry cycle with all the other settings
remaining the same, so that is another option, although with an
additional, aggravating step.

I hope I never have an appliance with only electronic controls. I do
have a usave with electronics, but both washer and dryer have rotating
motor contolled knob for functions and I like that type of controls,
not as sensitive to power surges and no question if they are working
or not.
