The heat isn't working all the time and the dryer will run when timer is in off position. I checked the back of the knob for stripping and cracking but all seem OK. I'm pretty sure its a timer issue but before I spend 3/4 the cost of the dryer for a new timer I want to be sure, any help appreciated.

With the timer set for Timed - Regular and power off check the contacts T-F, C-B, C-A for continuity. Then turn the timer to OFF and check again. If there is continuity at any of this contacts with the timer off - replace the timer Part number: W10185970 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Top and Console Parts parts for Estate EED4400WQ0 - AppliancePartsPros.com. Post the results.. Simon.
