The drum now starts to rotate immediately unit is powered on, it does not wait for start switch to be pressed. The Door open button does not stop motor, but door switch seems to operate the drum light and prevents selection of programs when the door is open. Otherwise the drying cycle seems to work ok, drum heats ok, count down timer is working and audible alarm works at end of cycle, the washing comes out dry, but the drum only stops on power off, reversed tumble also does not appear to be working. I would appreciate any ideas as I am concerned about the safety operating like this.
Sounds to me like a defective push start button. probably stuck on the on position
I have the same problem, couldn't find a real answer. I will try to check the start button
by the way does this have a digital board. if so you may have a bad control board

assuming what you say you checked is correct and working then the next place to look is the start relay, located behind the front timer control panel, this sis more often than not a cubed shape box made of clear plastic with about 6 spade connectors on it, look for burn marks inside it, replace if looks damaged, do not attempt to bypass or short out to test, as you will blow the timer or and control circuit board and cause extensive damage

What you describe is either a failed evenheat board or a failed motor relay.
Please post the complete model number from the machine and I can help you narrow it down. There should be a wiring diagram inside the console with voltage checks also.
Thanks/Mike

do you hear a humming noise? and is air coming out the rear if so the belt has broke if not the motor has gone bad let me know what you find
SOURCE: Dryer stopping in middle of cycle but timer continues to run.
oK " It's your timer, it has to be replaced
it's not going threw all it cycles, will start but will not finish
not a big job, unscrew plate on back at the top you will see
timer , take it out and replace it
( can not stress enough that you have to unplug the electrical cord from the wall socket before working on a dryer or any appliance )

Chances are it's a broken belt. If you hear the sound of the motor running and your dryer is heating, there's nothing else but the belt.
Changing the belt yourself is pretty easy if you can use a screwdriver and have a little mechanical ability. The new belt is around $20, and you'll save big if you don't call a service person to do it for you. A good site with a step-by-step illustrated procedure for changing the belt is here. They also sell parts, or you can find the belt locally at any appliance parts store.
