If i open the door the unit turns off and if i advance the timer manually to the off position it will turn off. Dryer gets hot and clothes are drying. It will do this in all timer settings. If i open the door the dryer will turn off but if i put my ear close to the timer i still hear it buzzing. I suspect the timer is at fault but looking for some advice. model is mde3500ayw ser # 40411503ac

This is not completely uncommon in a 14 year old machine. Try replacing the timer, here is your part number Whirlpool WP33001634 Timer - AppliancePartsPros.com Don't be concerned about the Whirlpool label as Whirlpool now owns Maytag.

So the other control board that continues the circuit for the timer motor is the Dryness Display board. Whirlpool WP33002389 Dryness Display - AppliancePartsPros.com Look at the wiring schematic Parts for Maytag MDE3500AYW: Wiring Information Parts - AppliancePartsPros.com This is the other part that may be causing the issue you have, so return the timer and replace this part.
