Hello

My dryer will not get hot so I am pretty sure it needs a heating element. It was replaced about 1 year ago. My question: If your dryer will not shut off automatically can it burn up a heating element and if so what part would control the end cycle of a load of clothes. Is it possibly the dyrer thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, thermal cut-off, heating element wire or
wwwwwhhhhhhaaaaaaaatttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHHHHHeeeellllllppppppp Me Somebody.

Redd,

Does the timer moves? Would the dryer stop if you move the timer to the "off" position manually?

Yes, Gene. When drying clothes I have to manually put the dial on the off position or open the door to stop the cycle. Thanks Redd

Looks like the timer has gone bad. Do not rush with the heating element unless you've checked it for continuity and it reads "open". Might be a bad timer caused it not to heat as well.
