First time poster here. Lots of good information here! I'm having a problem with my GE electric dryer. I used it for a couple loads of clothes today just fine, and then when I went to put a new load in, I turned the timer dial and it didn't click like normal - it clicked for a second and then started spinning more freely. Then I couldn't start it. Messing with the knob, I got it to start and now it seems to not be generating any heat. My initial thought is that the timer control broke, but does that explain why it wouldn't put out heat any longer (it dried two loads earlier today)? Is it just a timer module replacement? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Disappointing to see that parts are expensive. And it's especially aggravating since it's only 3 years old. Anyway, I really appreciate the help!
