My dryer timer switch had been acting intermittently (have to jiggle it to turn on the dryer); finally it would not turn on at all. I assumed it was the timer switch, ordered the replacement and installed it. The dryer now turns on, but again seems a bit intermittent. If I just push the timer switch directly, I can detect that it is making some type of "loose connection" (the drum will jump slightly), but I usually have to push it 3 or 4 times, (sometimes very slowly) to actually get it to engage.

I made sure all the connections to the timer were tight. Is it possible that I got a bad timer, or is maybe the wire harness intermittent? I also thought that maybe the buzzer was getting flaky, since that seems to be part of the circuit? Suggestions?
