Most likely the timer is stuck and not turning, if it stops when you open the door then it's the timer.

Hot point dryer running very hot after replacing thermal fuse and thermostat

If your Hotpoint dryer is running very hot after you replaced the thermal fuse and thermostat, it's possible that there is an issue with the heating element. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the heating element: The heating element is responsible for heating the air inside the dryer. Over time, it can become damaged or break, which can cause the dryer to run very hot. To check the heating element, unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the element. Use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If there is no continuity, the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.
  2. Check the cycling thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer. If it is not functioning properly, it can cause the dryer to run too hot. Use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If there is no continuity, the thermostat is faulty and will need to be replaced.
  3. Check the airflow: Restricted airflow can also cause the dryer to run too hot. Make sure that the vent hose is not kinked or blocked and that the lint filter is clean. Check the outside vent hood to make sure that it is not clogged with lint or debris.
  4. Check the control board: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the control board. This will require further diagnosis and possibly replacement of the control board.
If you are not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing the dryer yourself, it's recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.

My Kenmore electric dryer just stopped drying. .

If your Kenmore electric dryer has stopped drying, there could be several reasons why:
  1. Check the Power Supply: First, make sure the dryer is plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If you have an electric dryer, make sure the outlet is functioning properly.
  2. Check the Thermal Fuse: A blown thermal fuse can cause the dryer to stop heating. The thermal fuse is usually located on the blower housing or at the dryer's heat source. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the thermal fuse.
  3. Check the Heating Element: A defective heating element can also cause the dryer to stop heating. The heating element is usually located behind the dryer drum. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the heating element.
  4. Check the High-Limit Thermostat: A faulty high-limit thermostat can cause the dryer to stop heating. The high-limit thermostat is usually located on the heating element housing. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the high-limit thermostat.
If the dryer will not turn off, the problem could be a faulty timer or a stuck relay. You may need to have a technician diagnose and repair the issue.

On the face of it it sounds like the timer motor is not going and has stuck in the on position, but I would seek further advice. Someone competent and qualified should check whether the timer motor is getting any voltage and is working

My dryer will not stop running

Timer motor might be shot. Check it for continuity. If you cannot get a reading then your timer needs replacement. If the timer motor is fine check the heating element for short to frame.

Timer stops at 6 and dryer continues to run

The moisture sensor is in the lint filter. Remove 4 screws from inside the drum and you have the sensor attached by 2 wires. On my dryer I disconnected then reconnected these 2 wires, reassembled the lint trap and auto dry works fine again.

Timer runs continuously - Does not stop at all

There should be a timer motor on the timer. That is most likely burnt out and will cause the timer to not shut down. Just replace the timer and that will solve the problem

Dryer runs but wont auto shut off

On auto dry cycles, the cycle is controlled by moisture sensing bars located on either the rear or front bulkhead, ( visible inside dryer ) if the moisture sensor bars are shorted together (normally by wet clothing) the dryer will continue to run. If the dryer continues to run when the clothes are plenty dry, check and see if there is anything stuck between the sensor bars, (sometimes a metal sequin will cause this) or see if they are damaged. If not, you may have a problem with a timer contact, if the timer advances and stops moving at the same spot each time, I would suspect the timer. If this is an EvenHeat dryer, examine the control board located to the right of the timer in the control panel, for any burned components. Hope this helps.
