i took the top off and saw that the resistor connected thru the orange wire had gotten hot and just fell apart when i touched it would that have anything to do with it

I don't think so but I don't have a wiring diagram for your model, but you should replace it first before you do anything else.

Part number: AP3094277

Here is a wiring diagram for an EQ2, it is probably the same as an EQ3.

The resistor can cause your problem in Auto Dry modes.
Note that in timed dry modes it should advance and shut off.

In Timed Dry you get power (120 volts) directly from the line.

In auto mode you get power (240 volts) when the heater shuts off (Cycles) and the resistor reduces this to 120 volts so the timer motor does not burn out.
