Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 2/8/2010(UTC) Posts: 3		I Have Changed The Following Parts: Timer, Heater Assembly, Thermal Overload, Bearing Kit And Still The Dryer Isn't Right. When I Try To Use The Timed Dry Side, It Runs For 10 Minutes And Turns Off. When I Use The Normal Cycle, It Lasts For 30 Minutes, But It Should Run For An Hour. What Have I Missed? The Only Parts I Can Even Find That Might Be An Issue Are The Following: Thermostat Heater And Thermostat Control. Could They Be The Issue? If So, Which One Or Both? Thanks, My Wife Is Driving Me Crazy About This.

Need more info on what is happening when it shuts down? Need info on what you have to do to restart it? Was this the original problem with the unit? It does sound like a bad spot in the timer. In timed dry the timer motor gets power all the time, in auto modes it only gets power when the heater is shut off. That would explain the different shut down times.

I Have Changed The Following Parts: Timer, Heater Assembly, Thermal Overload, Bearing Kit And Still The Dryer Isn't Right. Only part of the above parts that can shut the unit off is the timer. You did not say if the timer advances to the off position? Yes, the timer advanced to the off position and can be turned right back on, not the motor overheating.

I cannot explain why the difference between timed and auto modes. The timer will advance 10 minutes, then turn off. You can restart by manually moving the timer and hitting start. There is no motor overheating, as you can restart immediatly after it turns off. The Only Parts I Can Even Find That Might Be An Issue Are The Following: Thermostat Heater And Thermostat Control.

This is the 3rd timer, I figured the same as you, sounded like a timer issue. It's not, can't beleive 3 of them are bad, with exactly the same issue on each of them.

If I set it up on normal dry, it goes completely through the entire cycle, just does it in 1/2 the time it is supposed to( the cycle should be 1 hour and is only 1/2 hour) If I got to timed dry, set it to 80 minutes, it will run for 10 minutes and stop on 70 minutes. I manually advance the timer a little, and it will run for another 10 minutes. :mad:

You will find your gear train on the new timer is the wrong one. I would just swap the old one to the new timer!!
