Default maytag dryer lde8506ace wont function properly on auto dry cycle

I have a maytag electric dryer model LDE8506ACE. The auto dry cycle does not dry properly. It will end itself without the clothes being dry. The dryer operates properly on the timed dry cycle and the permanent pres cycle. I have not yet tested anything. I couldn't find a manual online and looking at the parts breakdown I could not find any type of humidistat. Can anyone tell which thermastat is responsible for the auto dry cycle.

Thanks

In the Auto-Dry mode, the Timer Motor only runs when the Cycling Thermostat opens the Heater circuit, and closes the Timer Motor circuit.

The Cycling Thermostat should only open when the Dryer reaches temperature (the moisture has been removed from clothes).

You can test the Cycling Thermostat ...
with an empty load, TIMED DRY, High Heat, the Vent temperature should cycle somewhere beteween 135F and 160F.
