Hello Marcia, This is most likely the electronic control 3390537. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Carmen, For the dryer not starting when you push the start button, you will want to check the continuity of the door switch in the closed position and the thermal fuse. They should both have continuity and if one of the parts does nto have continuity then you will need to replace the part.

Lou C., here's some basic information " Unplug power cord or turn power off to the dryer. To access the components in the console : 1. Remove two(2) screws that secure the console to the top. 2. Lay console forward onto dryer top.( Place a cloth or rag under the console to protect the finish on the top). 3. Remove the screws that secure the back panel on the control console. Remove the timer knob, remove the two mounting screws securing the timer assembly to the mounting plate." Thanks and Good Luck

M Dell, Are you sure the venting system and lint filter are clean and free of lint and debris. Are you sure the "Extra Care option is not "On" ? " • The Extra Care feature (on some models) protects your clothing from wrinkles if you are unable to unload the dryer within 5 minutes after tumbling stops. The Extra Care feature tumbles the load without heat every few minutes up to 45 minutes after the cycle ends. NOTE: If the Extra Care selector is set to Off, the Sensor Dry cycle ends after cool-down. A signal will sound every few minutes when Extra Care is running if the End of Cycle Signal feature is set On. The signal and cycle stop when you open the dryer door." You do have to De select (turn off) the option. Good Luck and Thanks
