Try cleaning out the vent that goes from your dryer up the wall and out the roof before buying a new sensor. The sensor is probably working correctly in that it is warning you there is a problem with the lint in your vent. I would venture to say that most people in TV have never cleaned theirs out. Once cleaned out, the dryer should work again and the sensor not come on. You will also notice that it doesn't take as long for your clothes to get dry. I cleaned mine out and it made a world of difference.

On another note, cleaning behind the washer, dryer, refrigerator and stove will also make these appliances last longer because air will be able to get around the motors and they won't be as hot. Plus you will have less dust in your house.
