Be sure and remember how the wiring goes, mark it if you need to.
Let us know how this all turns out. Thanks again, Sid!!!! (Im assuming once I have the resistor in my hand, it will be obvious where it goes since I can easily match it to the original one. No need for a reply if thats so, Sid) Joe

Hi Sid,
Update: I installed the new timer and resistor, and now at least the TIMED cycle advances. I guess the other cycle called "automatic" is not suposed to advance, rather works with some kind of moisture meter, and then stops the dryer without advancing the control knob?? Im thinking thats hoew it normally works, so Im happy with that.

As I said earlier, we don't have access to the GE specs so we do not know exactly how your automatic cycle works. There are several methods moisture sensing.
The timer is supposed to move, but it senses how dry the clothes are and adjusts its movement to end when the clothes are dry. It sounds like your timer does not advance, but still stops when the clothes are dry?
Odd and unusual, but if it works, and it works on timed dry, well then you have a functioning dryer and saved a ton of money by not having a tech visit and sell you the parts at a highly inflated price, plus, of course the labor.
Thanks for updating us, good luck with your machine.
