My Matag Dryer will not dry/heat in Intellidry Mode and timer will not advance. Put in Time Dry Mode and it dries and heats as it should. Any ideas or fixes?

Thanks

Does your dryness display work? Does it show the correct lights (wet damp dry) when drying in timed mode?
Your Intellidry works from a sensor in the drum, basically two metal strips on the inside right front of the drum. When wet or damp clothes touch these strips it shorts out a circuit in the electronic control (in your case the dryness display) causing it to prevent the timer from advancing. It doesn't however prevent the dryer from heating, which leads me to believe your timer might be bad.

Thanks Brobriffin, thanks for your response. Here's what I found out today when running the dryer.

In Time Dry Mode there are no lights lit up and the dryer heats up and dries as it should and timer advances.
In Itellidry Mode with nothing in the dryer the Less light is on and the dryer heats up.
In Inellidry Mode with wets clothes in it the Less light is on and the More light is blinking, heats up sometimes and sometimes it doesn't heat up, but the timer does not advance whether it heats up or not.

I'm guessing the timer needs replacing?

Thanks, Don
