Hello,
What the automatic dry miser is, is a sensor that measure how dry the clothes are and will adjust the time its going to take to dry the clothes throughout the entire cycle. If at the beginning it estimate it will take 40 minutes to sry a load but they are dry in only 25 minutes the dryer knows the clothes are dry and cuts the dryer off. Saving 15 minutes of unneeded gas and electric that it would run and waste power and gas since the clothes were dry already.

I have a Whirlpool Dryer LER7646EQO. I need to know how to diagnose the automatic dry-miser feature.

the way this works is you set the timer to say more dry,you start it and the heat comes on,when the dryer reaches temp the heat shuts down and the timer starts to advance,it will move a little until the heat comes on and it stops advancing,dryer heats up and it does this until the clothes are dry,when on timed dry there's a clock motor on the timer and the timer uses the clock motor to count down.this is the difference,now does the timer advance at all,if not you could have a bad timer or the heater element is touching metal and grounding,you can start the dryer on air fluff and see if it gets hot, also try running it on timed dry and see if it advances to off or does it stop at a certain point and doesn't go to off,or if you have a volt meter,pull off the vent line,remove the back panel,remove the wires going to the heating element,set the meter to say 20k ohms,touch the leads together and you should see anything but 1,now touch one lead to one side of the element and the other lead to the metal case that covers the element,if you get any reading other than 1 the element is grounding to the metal case,check both sides like this,also while you have the back open,did you remove the metal duct that the lint filter slides down into,if not do it but you said you changed a gasket there so i'm sure you did this,if you look to the right of the duct you'll see the thermal fuse and the cycling thermostat remove them and check them out,if you had that much lint in there they probably are covered with lint also,the cycling thermostat tells the dryer when to cycle when it gets hot and cool.if the heater isn't grounded most likely you have a bad timer,you can run it on timed dry and see if it gets stuck on a certain spot and doesn't fully advance to offhope this helps you out

What is the sequence to reset kenmore dishwasher 665.16819992? The buttons from left to right are pots/pans, normal wash, water miser, china gentle, quick rinse, water Heat, no Heat dry, delay Hours,...

You haven't said why it needs reset, so possibly it can't be reset if there is a mechanical or electrical problem with a part in the dishwasher.
Here is a link to a page on YouTube. They usually have good repair videos and how to videos:

What is the sequence to reset kenmore dishwasher 665.16719000? The buttons from left to right are pots/pans, normal wash, water miser, china gentle, quick rinse, high temp, air dry, delay wash, start

Press "high temp wash, heated dry, High temp wash, heated dry, high temp wash, heated dry, high temp wash, heated dry, high temp wash"

All the lights will go solid at which point you press cancel to reset the board.

**NOTE** if you don't have a "heated dry" button, use the "air dry" or "energy saver dry" button instead.

Lgc6848a dry-miser doesn't stop

Replace your Timer knob. The contacts inside your timer that controls the motor has burned(arced) together. Not a hard part to place. BUT VERY HIGH VOLTAGE, so unplug. Or call a pro if not comfortable doing job yourself. Timer part # 3976576

Works on all cycles except that on the Automatic dry Miser setting the dryer stops mid cycle. All other cycles work fine and run through the complete cycle.

Inside the drum is 2 long metal trips that measure capacitance in the clothes as they get dryer. Sometimmes liquid fabric softener gets on them and stops the process. Wipe them off. They are right on the filter housing inside just below the filter.

On some dryers when in Automatic the timer don't move all time
it moves at certain times and don't move for a while. Heat sensor may be bad or the dryer is clogged up with lint . The vent to the outside could be clogged up too. I would run it for a while & see if the timer moves in automatic. If it moves all time in timed dry the timer is most likely ok. Hope this helps good luck.
