Hello Cameron, Since there is no difference in the operation of the unit from timed dry to the automatic cycle, the issue has to be related to airflow. I would open the unit and make sure there is not an item like a dryer softener sheet in the blower wheel. While in there check for any possible loose or missing seals/gaskets. If nothing is found you may need to recheck the ducting for a full 4-inch diameter opening inside the duct from the back of the unit to outside atmosphere. I have found water standing inside the duct that restricts airflow. I have also found excessive amounts of flex duct behind dryers that cause issues since the ducting needs to be short and straight as possible.
