At that point it runs forever and has to be shut off manually.It does this on both auto dry and timed dry.Before I replace timer any other causes of this problem?

My YouTube video here explains it, but the dryer uses the element as a resister to run the timer motor during the cool down section of the cycles. Thats what the orange wire on side of lower thermostat sends power to. Check video, then check the heat element! https://youtu.be/so69viGO6ak Ken's Appliance Repair
