After auto cycle the timer can not stop. Please let me know the problem?

Try "timed" cycles. If it shuts off on timed it's not the timer. It's more likely it's not cycling on the thermostat due to an airflow problem like the vent. To rule that out (or in) run ONE load through it with the vent disconnected. If it shuts off you'll know where to look

if it's not advacing in time dry you have a bad timer,that timer should count down no matter what the dryer is doing,if you have it in auto then it could be no heat,when it's in auto or more or less cycle the heat comes on and the timer won't move until the heat shuts down,when the heat is off timer advances,when the heat starts the timer stops,it will do this until the clothes are dry and then timer will shut off but in timed cycle,timer isn't counting down get a new timer.

Hi Laura,

There are many auto timer enabled extractor fan's available in the market but it could cost you more, therefore I would recommend an alternate solution for you.

All you need to do is replace your fan's switch with an auto timer.
For e.g. An auto timer which will switch off your fan after the desired time automatically.

Examples of an auto timers can be found on these links :- http://bit.ly/kUNC4x

So when the timer goes off , the fan stops by itself , and you don't have to worry about it any more.

Or you can get a new extractor fan with timer as well , check out an example in this link :- http://amzn.to/jybLfl

Hope this helps ..:) Your feed back would be appreciated , let me know in case you have any queries.

Hi there,

Well first of all you may try running the dryer with the vent hose removed. A slow vent will cause what you're describing. Then you'll need to look at the cycling thermostat. That is the part that tells the timer to advance. It sends a signal to the timer when the proper temp is achieved in the drum. Means when the element cycles off the timer motor moves a little bit. When it cools down and the element comes back on the timer stops. This action takes place when you're using one of the auto cycles.
If you have a slow vent it can cause the high limit thermostat to do the cycling. Please let us know for further help or information.....

Good Luck!!

Hi Chuck,
If the dryer is heating up and the timer will not advance in either time or automatic cycles, you will need to change the timer. If the timer advances in time cycle but not the auto cycle, you need to make sure it is heating properly. The timer only advances in the auto cycle after it reaches a certain temperature.
I hope this helps you at all. Please let me know if I can assist you further in this matter.

Thanks

You will need to replace the timer dial on the dryer.

Hi, If the dryer heats but will not advance in either time or auto cycles, you need to change the timer.
You can test to see if the timer is getting voltage. Remove the top rear panel and locate the two wires going to the timer motor. There should be 120V when the dryer is running in time dry.
Please let me know if this helps or if I can assist you further.

Thanks

Im guessing there is another thermostat in the circuit to actuate the timer motor circuit. If you can find the timer motor wires check for voltage in the run (cycles yuor having trouble with) modes. Automaticadvance timmer mode is usually an open set of contacts and close when the element is heating too correct temperature allowing power to continue to the timmer motor. In the delicate cycle often it is the same thermostat on a differant set of contacts (but they could be on the same thermostat this type of thermostat has 3 termjinals usually 2 on 1 side and 1 on the other). that energize the timer motor.

The other thing that could be the problem is the timmer itself. There has to be a set of contacts inside the timmer that energize the timer motor in both cycles. these are or can work on some cycles but not others due to worn out parts in the timer. Check for voltages her that corrospond with your timer motor.

Hope this helps Please rate me accordingly and GOOD LUCK

Unless you jarred the machine it's the timer. You can check this by bypassing the lid switch and seeing if it will cycle.
