Assumed it was the timer itself that was bad so I replaced it. The new timer also will not advance. The dryer will shut off if I open the door or manually turn the timer to Off but even the new timer will not advance on it's own. What other issue could i have that will not allow the timer to advance?

The timer had a humming sound in it when it was turned to any cycle point but the start button was not pushed yet.

When the timer (old one) worked, there was some resistance/clicking when turning it to a setting. Once it stopped working, that resistance/clicking was gone and the resistance/clicking is also not happening with the newly replaced timer.
