The T494C is old enough that its cycle is governed by a motorised mechanical timer rather than any electronics, which changes the diagnostic approach entirely. A dryer that stops at the same point on every cycle is telling you about a specific position on the timer cam, not about a sensor. Timers of this type can usually be sourced or serviced, and the rest of the machine – drum, motor, heater – tends to be in good order.
