Dryer shuts off after 10 minutes. timer has been replaced. What is the next step in troubleshooting this problem?

Dryer will shut off after 10 minutes of operation. I have replaced the timer and that does not make any difference. Where do I look at this point?

    this is an electric dryer. I also turned the temp control from high to med and it completed the cycle. Does this mean the temp control needs to be replaced?

Check the high limit thermostat. if its damaged, it will allow the dryer to become way to hot, tripping the shut off. check the door switch as well. if its faulty, it will shut off the dryer periodically.

Dryer timer doesn't advance so the dryer doesn't shut off

If your dryer timer isn't advancing and the dryer isn't shutting off, there may be a few possible causes. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and potentially fix the problem: Check the Timer: The timer is responsible for advancing the cycle and shutting off the dryer at the end of the cycle. If the timer is faulty, it may not be advancing properly. To check the timer, try turning it manually to see if it advances. If it doesn't, you may need to replace the timer. Check the Timer Motor: The timer motor is what drives the timer to advance. If the motor is faulty, the timer won't advance. You can use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If it doesn't have continuity, you'll need to replace the motor. Check the Cycling Thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer. If it's faulty, it may not be signaling the timer to advance. You can use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If it doesn't have continuity, you'll need to replace the thermostat. Check the Heating Element: The heating element heats the air inside the dryer. If it's faulty, it may be causing the cycling thermostat to malfunction, which can prevent the timer from advancing. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for continuity. If it doesn't have continuity, you'll need to replace the heating element. Check the Moisture Sensor: Some dryers have a moisture sensor that detects when the clothes are dry and signals the timer to shut off. If the moisture sensor is faulty, it may not be signaling the timer to shut off. You can test the sensor by running the dryer with a wet load and seeing if it shuts off automatically. If it doesn't, you may need to replace the moisture sensor. If you're not comfortable performing these troubleshooting steps yourself, it's best to call a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and fix the problem.

Whirlpool ultimate care ii dryer timer

Sounds like the knob is not on correctly, or is not the correct knob, or the plate with the numbers on it has moved. When it turns off naturally, does that line up with 'off'?

Whirlpool dryer shuts off at the end of cycle, but timer continues to tick. It ticks through the next cycle and stops ticking at that cycles off?

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you

The timer could be the problem. To check this, turn the timer to a timed cycle say 30 minutes or so then time it. If in 30 minutes the timer hasn't moved and the dryer is still on, the timer is faulty replace it If in 30 minutes the dryer is off, the heating element is your problem

Heating Element
This is the most likely cause for some dryers timer not advancing. Some dryers have two heating elements and if one goes out the timer will not advance if you use it on an automatic cycle but you will still feel heat inside the tub. Replace it.

My dryer will shut off ten minutes into the any drying cycle and then won't let me turn it back on for another 10 minutes.

first clean filter, element could be putting out to much heat, and safty swich shuts it down, or it coud be a bad thermocouple, , lets hope its not the timer, if it does this on cool tumble, its ur timer, (dial switch)

Dryer will only run for 10 minutes at a time

Hi, this is heat related. the timer module on this unit is overheating, in return, it is shutting down due to the heat generated but the faulty timer circuits. you will need to replace the timer device asap.
