Have E5 error code. Took dryer apart cleaned filter blower & ducts. Checked resistance of heater element reads 9.7 ohms. Thermistor readings seem normal. After reassembling still get E5 error code. Dryer was purchased in 04/2009.

Continuety is all you need.
Be sure to unplug them from the system before testing otherwise you can get a good reading coming back from another path through the dryer

SOURCE: Dryer will not shut off in any 'auto' mode.

How long is the vent from the dryer to the outside? Dryer vents that are longer than 8 feet with more than (2) 90 degree turns--can affect drying performance.
Setting the DRY LEVEL selector to *Very Dry* will solve most dry-ability issues. In homes with abnormally long vents--even the longer run time in the *Very Dry* setting is usually not sufficient to dry laundry loads.
Reducing the length of the vent or starting a second cycle becomes necessary to fully dry the clothing.
If a second cycle was started---only the amount of time that is needed to dry laundry will be used before dropping to 6 minutes and then the cycle will end with dry laundry.
