you have a white strip on the back of your dryer un plug your dryer first.....then un plug the strip and hook the two wires together that will allow the heat to start again.....the timer shouldnt have anything to do with the heat....turn it on and put your ear to the knob and you should here a clock sound if not your timer is bad

yes its the fuse

Hello dacarle,
Welcome,

You said, I HAVE A WHIRLPOOL DRYER. TURN THE TIMER SELECT ON. THEN TURN START KNOB TO ON, THEN PRESS THE SAME KNOB IN TO START CYCLE. YOU CAN HERE THE TIMER AND SOUNDS LIKE THE CONTACT IS WORKING, BUT CYCLE WON'T START.

Please send me the model number so i can check out the problem.
Waiting your response
Huuum

HI yes it could be a fuse its called a thermal fuse located at back of dryer remove back on the left sede on air duct a fuse with 2 smaller blue wirse that should be your problem thanks THE APPLIANCE DOC

hi,

okay, the timer wont shut the dryer off right? okay so maybe a a stuck start button, unplug one of the leads after you start it, unplug the lead and advance the timer knob to off and see if that was it. higher end dryers have that auto dry sensor feature that is supposed to shut it off when its done. Study the wiring diagram and find the circuit for autodry feature and disconnect one of the leads off that thermostat try that

yes very possible timer but my guess on the times i seen the problem would be the heating element are the thermo fuse on the elemnt canister when the heater does not come on the timer will not move ck the heater and the fuses on the heater canister it will fix your problem

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 )
