A Model Number might help

I assume it did not turn off because the timer did not advance.
Is this correct?
Try it in a timed dry mode
Does it advance now?

If the heater burned out most units will not advance in auto mode
Also could be a thermal fuse blew

Also could be you lost half your line voltage
Turn the breaker off/on a couple times slowly
Better yet check the voltage at the plug

Hi there!

Sorry the model # is RGL 463 4BL0

You are right -it did not shut off because the timer did not advance.

Checked all timed modes and it will not advance
also checked breaker and plug...everything looks ok there

Do you think it is the timer?

Thanks for your help

Here are your parts
Model RGL4634BL0

Here is the wiring diagram
https://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Wiring%20Sheet%20-%203398163.pdf

Yes it does sound like the timer is shot
In timed dry the circuit path for the timer motor is
NEUTRAL , DOOR SWITCH , WB/TM timer contacts , TIMER MOTOR , L1
So even with the unit off as long as the door switch is closed the timer should advance to the OFF position.

Am concerned that you had no heat.
Try running the unit to check this.
You may have two problems
