Fridgaire electric dryer timer won't advance, heats occasionally

Dryer Repair

Dryer won’t heat up consistently, automatic cycle timer won’t advance.

Timed dry setting will advance but dryer still won’t heat up every time I start the dryer.

I tried resetting the circuit breaker, works sometimes to get the dryer to heat but automatic cycles still won’t advance.

Any suggestions as to the problem?

The first thing I would check is the vents inside and outside the dryer and the blower wheel.

Gene,

I appreciate the advice, I checked out all the vents and the blower wheel is working fine (I even vacuumed all the extra lint from all areas).

Still having trouble with the dryer heating up, should I check the timer since it won’t advance or heat up?

Thanks

Check the timer according to the attached wiring diagram. Sorry for not very good quality.
