Hello Sal. If the resistor is bad, the timer motor will not advance. You can test the resistor, it should read around 5000 ohms. It is located in the wiring harness. You will need to trace the orange wire to find it's exact location. Hope this helps.

Hello Denise. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Also check the heater and thermal fuses and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. You will need to check the venting system and see if that was the reason for your problem. Hope this helps.
