Catriver,
This is danpatron. Your picture helped me fix my gas dryer before by replacing the thermal fuse.
Now, I have another problem. On the Dry-Miser, Automatic Dry setting,
It drys, but I came back 3 hours later and its still drying. The problem is not the heat. It was super dry. The problem is the timer didn't move to the off position.
SOURCE: machine drys fine on timed cycles but shuts off before clothes are dry on automatic cycle.
the automatic feature could be the problem. the damp sensor could be faulty. the timer would run even though the clothes are still damped. it is supposed to stop while the clothes are still wet.
tnx 4 using fixya,
drcool
SOURCE: Works on all cycles except that on the Automatic
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.

When you moved the sensor wire on the moisture sensor may have fallen off.
Remove the front panel and locate the wire and the connection. It will be on the right side near the lint filter vent. If it is still connected your timer has gone bad.

You need to replace the thermal fuse and the timer. A bad timer will over draw a thermal fuse and cause it to blow.
Please remember to unplug the dryer before servicing
SOURCE: dryer drys but the timer dial does not turn to stop automatic
Hi, You will need to change the timer. The timer motor has gone bad. You can test it by removing the back cover on the control panel and test the two wires going to the timer motor to see if it is getting 120V. If it is getting voltage, it should turn.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks
Vic
