It also had a slight smell, like a wire burning, when it was running. It never finished drying the last load of wash I put in it and it now runs with no heat coming on. Could this point to a problem with the dryer timer switch?

It could cause a damage to wires, if happened. Per the manufacturer instructions the dryer has to be cleaned at least every other year. - Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LGR6848AN0 Keep me updated, please.
