The auto dry feature uses a humidistat to sense the amount of moisture in the air as it is exiting the dryer.
The thermistor / thermostat is a heat sensing device and that is the one to change first. If inaccurate it cuts the heat off to soon resulting in a warm heat drying cycle instead of HOT.
There are two other devices, a thermal fuse which will cut power when the dryer over heats and it doesn't sound like yours is. Finally there is a Thermal Cut Out, and when it overheats so badly the fuse breaks and has to be renewed.
The other thing to check is the the vent outside is clear of lint and that the flap or grille vents are opening fully when the dryer is running..
Good videos, and the second video shows testing components.
Lights come on (Drying, Cooling, and End). No codes appear present. Disassembled and found belt tensioner pully locked up. Belt wore through plastic pully allowing the tensioner lever to move far enough to trip what appears to be a safety switch. When this switch is open, dryer will not start.
