Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Timer Resistor by Ge

Hello Clay, It sounds more like you have a ducting issue to me. You see, if the unit can't get rid of the moisture, it's blown past the felt drum seals and is recirculated across the clothes. The sensors sense the moisture again and the unit will run forever. When the sensors pick up the moisture, it keeps the timer motor from getting voltage so the timer never advances. You can check it with a Dryer Vent Test Kit W11224254. If you want to check the duct for problems without the kit, disconnect the duct from the unit and turn the unit on, set to an automatic cycle, and let it run for 5 minutes and the timer will advance if no problems with the unit exists.
