If you are stating that the timer knob never moves to the off position, then the timer is probably bad and needs replaced. If you can't turn the timer because the knob feels too loose then possibly the knob is just broken. Timer knobs usually just pull straight off so you can look at the back side and see if the plastic around the shaft hole is cracked.
On the back of timer stick a small screwdriver blade into the shaft tab and pry out, but not all the way. Should come out easily. Install knob then push shaft back in to lock in place.
The timer (part number 33001624)is obviously stuck; fiddle with the knob a little bit to see if it will unstuck. Otherwise the timer must be replaced; disconnect power to the dryer prior to servicing to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Carefully lift the timer knob and dial off the timer shaft by pulling the knob away from the face of the console. Remove the timer dial skirt then remove the two timer mounting screws exposed.
Lay a piece of towel or cloth across the top cover of the dryer then
remove the three screws securing the console rear cover plate across the
rear top edge of the console. Grasp the top of the console then gently rock
and roll it to the top cover of the dryer.
Remove the defective timer then install and secure the new one into position. Disconnect the wires from the defective timer and connect it to the new timer one at a time to prevent messing up the wires. Push in the timer knob into the shaft then reinstall the console in place. Roll the console back into an upright position to engage the locking feet into the slots in the top of the cover and secure it with the screws.
Disconnect power to the dryer and remove the screws attaching the console rear panel to the console and pull the panel off.
Inspect the wires connected to the timer and ensure a snug fit connection. Clean the connectors and terminals then reseat it several times to ward off dirt within the connectors.
Reconnect power to the dryer and start it; replace the timer (part number 3398195 ) if the dryer still won't stay running. Unplug the dryer and pull the timer knob off the console. Remove the screws securing the timer to the bracket and remove it. Secure the new timer in place then disconnect the wires from the old timer one at a time and connect it to the corresponding terminal on the new timer.
Push the timer back into position on the console and secure the console rear panel in place.
The start switch is going out. You will have to replace the whole timer on this model. Check the first 2 numbers of your serial number if it is 10 - 15 the part number is 33002855 if the first 2 numbers are 16 or greater the part number is 33002803. Please rate me after reading.
