Answer

Hi William. The timer needs replaced if the cycle will not shut off. The internal contacts are shorted. Timer part # WE4M271. It may be that the heater is staying constantly engaged. Make sure the entire vent system is clear. Make sure the vent hood cap opens and closes properly. Once you get the timer replaced and the unit shuts off, the cycling thermostat can be sticky and needing replaced if the dryer is hot from the center of the sides and the top. Cycling thermostat is part # WE4M216. Thank you.
