Kenmore Dryer Timer does not advance

I have a Kenmore Dryer that the timer will not advance. The dryer does everything just fine, except the timer will not run. I have replaced the timer, but the problem still persists. All voltages going to the timer motor are good and a resistance check of the timer motor reads about 16 ohms. Can anyone provide an assist?

    Thanks for the assist, but I managed to figure this one out. The replacement timer I was shipped was the wrong part number. Once I received the CORRECT part, I managed to get everything running just fine.

    My dryer timer wont advance, have replaced it 3 times and none of them have worked. I had them tested when I took them back and no response when put on the meter that tests if its good. The appliance company wont refund my money only get me another part. Is there any thing I can do I can't afford to go buy a new dryer it was 124.00 for the timer alone. It was hooked up exactly the way the diagram instructs but still no movement of the dial.

Timer resistance is way too low. You may have misswired the new timer. Basically, when the dryer motor is running, the timer motor gets voltage 115 volts.

Looks like you checked everything except the "cycling thermostat". Check it for continuity.

Kenmore 70 Series Dryer not heating and not cutting off
I had an identical problem to yours this weekend with my Kenmore dryer. There were 2 problems.

1. Timer was broken. Does not advance to "OFF" position on timed dry, however it still works for auto-dry.

2. Thermal fuse was blown. Upon replacing, dryer heated up normally.

I believe when the timer broke, the dryer had kept running and blew the thermal fuse. On Sears' website, thermal fuse is $5.30, timer is roughly $80.

Kenmore Electric Dryer Model 110.6972110 timer motor NG
hi,

maybe call a generic appiance store other than sears, try maytag store. the knob pulls staight off and the timer nut is below. then take off the back cover off the control panel, sometimes those screws are on the front corners, sometimes hidden. take a picture of the timer wiring and tape and label all the wires before you remove it. unplug it first!!

A timer motor advances the timer; if the timer does not advance, you can safely conclude the timer motor is bad, and replace the timer.

Kenmore 11070702990 Gas Dryer - Timer does not work
If your dryer seems to run forever, it could be because of a clogged vent or internal ductwork. Your dryer may have an automatic cycle that turns off the dryer when the clothes are dry. It does this with a special thermostat or moisture-sensing system.

Normally, this is what happens during an automatic cycle:

  • The thermostat tells the dryer to heat until the interior of the dryer reaches a pre-set temperature--say 135 degrees.

  • When the dryer reaches the pre-set temperature, the thermostat tells the timer to begin advancing. (If there's a moisture sensor, the timer advances only if the moisture content of the clothing is low enough.)

  • The timer advances until the interior cools, then the thermostat tells the timer to stop advancing, and tells the dryer to start heating again.

This cycle continues until the clothes are dry. But…if the vent is clogged, the dryer may never reach the proper operating temperature, so it doesn't send the signal to the timer and the dryer continues to run indefinitely, even if the clothes are completely dry. To fix the problem, clean the vent and/or internal ductwork.

Kenmore drier model 110.96591440 will not cut off in either drying cycle
DO YOU MEAN IT WON'T SHUT OFF? DOES THE TIMER ADVANCE? IF IT STAYS IN THE SAME PLACE, AND YOU ARE ON AN "AUTO DRY" CYCLE, THE TIMER WON'T ADVANCE IF THERE IS A RESTRICTION IN THE EXHAUST.
DISCONNECT THE DRYER EXHAUST FROM THE BACK OF THE DRYER AND TRY ONE LOAD OF LAUNDRY. IF IT WORKS O.K., THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR DRYER DUCT WORK. HAVE IT CLEANED OUT AND TRY IT AGAIN.

No heat, timer not advancing
If the timer advances in timed cycle but not automatic, you have a bad heater thermostat.
