The dryer is heating and drying clothes, but the Timer does not advance in any mode (Auto-Dry, Timed Heat, Timed Air-Dry. This seems like a timer problem based on other similar threads, but I want to be sure before I sink the money into a Timer.

New developments. The Timer motor is actually spinning. Sometimes the cycle willnow addvance, but not a the rate it is supposed to. For example on timed Dry I set it for 30 minutes. It advances for 20 minutes and then stops. Another time it advanced to stop but ran for 2 1/2 times the setting. Other times it still won't advance. Do you still think it is the Timer.

Thanks,

In response to your questions:

1. When I said that I set it for 30 minutes, it ran the timer down to 10 minutes decrementing the time accurately. The timer stopped decrementing at 10 minutes left on the cycle but the dryer continued to run until we manually stopped it. The dryer did not stop on it's own.

2. The dryer was again set for 30 minutes. What I meant when I said it ran for 2 1/2 times is that it stopped on it's own but took it about 75 minutes to do so when set for 30 minutes. It was decrementing slower that the actual elapsed time, but did stop.

3. When I open the door, the dryer stops and does not restart without hitting the start button after closing the door.

4. The problems are inconsistent for each cycle.

The last 3 times I ran it it did not stop or advance on it's own. Gremlins???

And I forgot to say thanks for responding. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated.
