You had to move the controll button to the end of the cycle to get it to stop. So, a few days ago the rotary switch stoped. I ordered a new one. I installed it. I tryed to use the dryer. If you trun the stwich it will start. It will not stay on unless you hold the switch in place. What do I need to do next. Is the rotary switch bad or do I need to replace another part.

Given that you have replaced the switch your motor is the likely problem. Given the age of the machine you may want to consider a new or good used dryer. Good luck, sorry for the bad news.
