Kenmore Elite HE4 Electric Dryer - heat but not drying

I turn on the auto cycle and the display says 52 min. After about 20 min. it will turn off as if the clothes are dry. After opening the door to the dryer, the clothes are still wet but hot. Would this be caused by the sensor? I have cleaned everything but it is still doing this. I can turn on the Timed Dry cycle and the load will be dry when the time is up.
