Find your model number - AppliancePartsPros.com Should be 3 digits, a period and then an additional 8 digits. It would be best to find out what is causing it to not advance. Does it not advance in both timed and auto cycles?

See the attachment for the wiring diagram. It should be OK to run but I will not recommend it as then something will happen for sure. Odds are that it is a timer problem. If you measure across the timer motor and it is getting 240 volts and not advancing then it is the timer for sure. File Attachment(s): 62512101.pdf (232kb) downloaded 1 time(s).
