Maytag dryer won't auto-stop

We bought a Maytag washer/dryer set in 1987 and they have been bulletproof until now. The Model DE590 dryer will still dry the clothes, but when it's on automatic, the dial never moves and it doesn't shut off. Timed dry works OK. It's like the dryer can't sense that the clothes are dry. The vent and filter are clean. This model doesn't appear to have a moisture sensor in the drum. I'm guessing that it checks the humidity of the output air to determine when to stop. Does anyone know of a solution? There are two sensors between the drum and the outlet. Maybe one of these controls it? Thanks!
