Last week I noticed that when using the sensor settings the load did not go thru the cool down cycle. Last night I could not get the machine to start. I did notice a faint humming from the timer area. I tried researching how to test the timer with an ohm meter but found conflicting info on what readings indicated a bad timer. As I am trying (like everyone else!) to DIY and save money. I don't want to replace parts until I'm sure. TIA for any help.

Did you try both auto and timed dry?

Open the console. Label and remove the wires from the timer. While the timer is on, check for continuity between the BK & BU, the TM & WB, and TM & OR terminals. It should be continuity on all pairs.

Also, because it was warm inside the dryer, you have to check the heating element for continuity between its terminals and between each terminal and the ground.

Post the results.

Gene.
