John for Model Number Whirlpool LER8620PW0 My dryer will start and run ok, but the timer will not run, it just stays where you set it and runs continuously. Am I right to assume this is the timer motor gone bad, or should I check a few more things before ordering a new timer?
Answer John, If you place the timer dial in the timed dry selection area and start the dryer, if the dial doesn't advance in a few minutes, then replace the timer WP3979618 . If the timer doesn't advance in the "auto dry" selection(s), then this is an indication of a heating issue, and you'll need to check the exhaust venting and vent hood for clogs, kinks and restrictions.
