Well, now the dryer is causing problems. The dryer does not seem to
shut off. I think it is the timer. The dryer doesn't turn off either
in timed mode or dryness setting mode but if you turn the dryer to
off, or open the door it does turn off. Any suggestions?

When everything was working fine, could you see the timer advancing,
the knob turning perhaps? If so, is it turning now? Does it get all
the way to the end?

Doesn't that tend to exclude the timer?

Get a kitchen timer and use that?

No the timer knob does not seep to be moving.

I don't think so....

Update....
I took off the head and checked the voltage across the timer. There
is a 2-3 volt drop between runnun/not running. While I had it away
from the wall I stuck the ol' shop vac up the dryers business end and
up the exhaust vent. After I looked in the shop vac and found a
rather large clump of lint. Started the dryer and the timer DID work
on a timed cycle. So we will have to run a load or two to see what
happens.
Thanks for you ideas.
Mark
