I followed the step-by-step picture instructions, which were very helpful in installing the 279816 thermal cutoff kit, but ever since then, my timer will not shut off the dryer. I even ordered a new timer and had the same problem with it. The timer does not move at all in the automatic dry modes and in the timed dry mode it will go past the cool down spot, but will hang up at the shut down spot and just continues to run on cool. Any ideas? I have seen some posts that suggest a thermal fuse could be the problem. I was wondering if there was a correct way (top/bottom) to attach the wires to the thermostat that I may have missed. Please help if you can.

I did all of the steps outlined exactly and my dryer still won't start. If you put it on cool down it will cycle off and on for a few minutes but that's all it will do. I don't know what to do with it next. I have been looking online and your site is the only one that gave me any useful information.
Thank you
