This is a 60 Hz timer that controls the duration of drying cycles in a clothes dryer. It advances through each stage of the cycle and signals the motor and heating components to turn on or off at the appropriate times. Replace this timer if the dryer will not start, the cycle does not advance, the timer knob spins freely without clicking, or if the dryer runs continuously without shutting off.

Answer

Hello AC. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps.
