Hi there,

Like many others, I am having a problem with the timer not advancing. This has been going on for months as I don't think I have adequately diagnosed the problem. First off...I am sure this is actually a Whirlpool made dryer. I have tested the timer with a multimeter and it tested OK...no infinity reading...you can hear the timer working but it simply does not advance on auto or timed cycles with or without wrinkle prevent on. I also took the vent hose hose off and ran it...no luck...still no movement. I can hear the timer stop when I open the door and start when I close it...but the son of a gun won't move. Otherwise...it heats up fine...drys clothes fine. I would hate to pay a hundred bucks for a timer and have the same issue. I would also hate to burn the house down. Is there anything else I can check with my multimeter?
Thanks!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Mike

Since you can hear the timer running you know that it's motor is receiving power so odds are high that it has a mechanical problem preventing it from advancing.

I would replace it.
