I have checked continuity through all of the fuses and ohmed out the resistors and everything seems to check fine. I am by no means an electrician so I may be missing something. Anyone have any ideas?

Since the unit runs in low heat we know the door switch, push to start switch, motor and thermal fuse are all OK. All that is left is the BU/BK timer contacts. To check this You could unplug the unit Set it where it runs and check these contacts for continuity. Should be 0 ohms Then put it to a cycle that does not run and odds are the contacts are infinite ohms..
