Whirlpool Elec Dryer timer didn't turn the dryer off at end of cycle. Nor would it heat when timer is set to heat position manually any where on the dial. Upon inspection, the heater coil is broken. Should the timer run with broken heating element? Is it a coincidence that the two failed at the same time?
if you set timer on time dry it will count down but if you have it set on more or less it will not advance without heat,change out the heater and you will be fine

- if you have heat try tapping the timer and see if it advances,could have a bad timer,tapping it sometimes will advance it past the sticking point but you still will have to change it out

The dryer seems to be taking much longer to dry all of a sudden (2-3 times longer than just yesterday). It is tumbling, blowing warm air out the vent and all the controls appear to be working. It seems more warm than hot even though the temperature setting is at high. Could the gas heating unit be on but not heating as optimally? Thanks! Kirk
