Bruce Tauck for Model Number lgr8648 pwo Whirlpool Dryer The Dryer will turn on and run but will only heat on very dry cycle but does not get real hot. Then will just stay there and will not move (dial) that is. there is no other mode that the heat will come on. Is my timer bad? If I move the timer in wrinkle mode by hand the timer will work its way to the off mode.

Since the timer does advance in the wrinkle cycle, the timer itself should be working properly. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, October 11, 2013
