If the weather does not get really hot today I will some further testing to help define the problem . Supposed to be in the mid 90s today here in central Illinois so I may have to wait for a day or so.

In my used parts box I managed to find an older Maytag rotary type timer as shown on Maytag schematic page 3702330-0398. This is a version of a rotary timer that has a bell signal built in as part of the design. The p/n is M460-GB 637 02290. A lot of wiring rework was required to hook it up but the unit now does run the drum properly but so far it does not heat, just blows air. A push to start switch was added to the panel since the original timer used a push to start device inside. This start switch was recovered from another old design dryer. It is p/n 3977456 and works OK. The unit does not shut off at a preset cycle time but if the connections can be revised I may be able to get it to shut off and also to heat . If anyone has some constructive comments. I would like to hear them. For what it is worth The original timers used on this model dryer are a piece of crap!!!

I was asked to repair if possible the above model gas dryer with s/n 19536595CN. In checking this web site it appears the timer which I suspect is at faulty, There is no p/n available as a replacement. Can anyone point me in the proper direction for a reliable replacement ?
