My dryer has stopped getting hot. On Sunday, I used air dry and the timer didn't appear to be working . It just stayed on 20 minutes for about an hour. When I figured it out, I turned it to off. However, now it appears that no matter what I use (timed heat dryer, auto dry, etc.) it is air drying. Do you think the timer could be broken?
Jeannine for Model Number 417.90042990
ANSWER Hi Jeannine. You are experiencing 2 - Issues. No heat usually is caused by either open fuse part # 5308015399, or an open igniter part # 5303937186, (or both). The timer is part # 131905500. It should turn to off in all selections. Clean the vent assy. entirely. Clean the outside hood and flap assy. or this issue can apply soon again. Thank You.
