We also checked continuity in the other parts suggested in the thread http://forum.appliancepartspros...timer-wont-turn-off.html . Today, it is heating but not drying anything. The drum turns, the exhaust hose is clear & the exhaust blows. What else could it be? EDIT: Is there a timer sensor? I just turned it on for 40 min timed dry & it stopped in 20.

If these check out, and you are certain your thermostats are ok, then I suggest you replace the timer. If it stops then it sounds like the timer is bad but unfortunately you will have to replace it to test that theory.
