Here are your parts, includes a wiring diagram
Replacement parts for MAYTAG PYE2300AYW | AppliancePartsPros.com

In Auto modes the timer gets power when the heater shuts off.
Try an air only cycle if it still does not advance and you have some heat you probably have a grounded element.
To confirm remove both wires from the heating element, measure it for continuity (should be 10 ohms approx.) and then measure each input to the frame (should be infinite)
Remember to unplug the unit before working on it!!!
If not infinite coil may have sagged or broken and is touching the case.

Could also be the resistor.

The above are the most common but there are other possible causes.
