I purchased and replaced the timer module on it but got the same result. We ran it while not attached to the vent as we read to try that in some forums. The heat works fine. The moisture sensor may not be working either and I'm curious if that could be related. I did notice that the bell never "dings" now either even when manually turning off with the dial. Any help you can provide would be great.

I include this as it has an actual wiring diagram and I believe yours is very close to this one. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=47870&diagram_id=28472256#d28472256 On these dryers the timer motor gets power from the moisture sensor (electronic control) board. So if it the timer does not advance in timed dry and auto modes than this board is probably shot. For the life of me I cannot find the board in the parts.
