Maytag Washer/Dryer Model LSG7806AAE The gas dryer has 3 separate drying cycles on its timer dial: IntelliDry (Auto-sensing drying cycle), Permanent Press & Timed Dry. Unit is ~ 10 years old. Everything working fine until ~ 2 months ago, when the IntelliDry & Permanent Press cycles stopped working. IntelliDry cycle would never stop. Permanent Press cycle left load still damp. But Timed Dry was still working. ~ 2 weeks agot, the Time Dry cycle stopped working (after a 40 minute run time, a regular sized lot would still be damp). Repair person arrived, said Radiant Sensor had died & replaced it. Also indicated that the timer itself was working correctly. However, all 3 problem still remain - none of the 3 cycles are drying a regular sized load. What are most likely root causes of this problem?

Sounds like you need new timer

Here is the side vent kit. It comes with the complete instructions.

try cleaning the 2 silver senser bars located inside the dryer drum on the door side with isopropyl alcohol and lint free wipes,these bars sense moisture and control timer speed,and when they get coated with the chemicals in dryer sheets they become coated and can no longer sense the damp clothes (these sensers use capacitance to sense moisture)

It is probably electronic gas valve, or safety valve that let the gas flow and shuts off immediately. Better take it to the repair shop will save yourself $75.00 service fee.

how do i set this dryer to dry my clothes??? what is the right setting?? should i use the time dry setting or the more dry/less dry setting?? Clothes never dry???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

your timer is the problem if its not moving
which can be expensive
60-80.00 dollars Dryers are cheap enough to buy a good used one

There are usually 2 thermal fuses in dryer circuits. One is on the heater housing and will blow in an overtemp condition around 310-350F.
The other is on the blower or exhaust housing and will blow around 200F
Make absolutely sure the 2nd one is continuous and not intermittently functional. This will definitely stop the motor from functioning

Below is a diagram for an older model (LER4634). Your dryer has some additional terminals probably because it has additional drying cycle options.

The diagram may be more readable when copied and pasted into a plain text editor such as Notepad or another editor with non-proportional fonts

Switch Terminals
|TM |TM |BK |BK |BK |
|WB |OR |BU |BU |R |
|-- |-- |V |-- |-- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|O |X |O |X |X |Auto - High Heat
|O |X |X |X |X |Auto - Low Heat
|---|---|---|---|---|
|<> |<> |~ |X |O |Cool Down / Fluff
|O |X |O |O |O |End of Cycle
|---|---|---|---|---|
|X |O |O |X |X |Timed - High Heat
|X |O |X |X |X |Timed - Low Heat
|---|---|---|---|---|

Legend:
O = Open (Infinite Resistance)
X = Closed (Continuous)
<> = Either (But not Both)
~ = Doesn't Matter
NA = Not Applicable

Switch Terminals:

TM - Timer Motor (Different Models may use different colors)
WB - Black/White
OR - Orange
BK - Black
BU - Blue
V - Violet/Purple
R - Red

Example: For the Auto - High Heat Dry cycle, the following terminals are continuous:
Terminals
<TM - OR>
<BK - BU>
<BK - R>
(of course since BK-BU is continuous and BK-R is continuous, then BU-R is also continuous.

This should allow you to test at least some of the cycles your timer switch has

I have a general schematic in PDF for whirlpool for gas and electric, but did not see an option to add an attachment to this message.

Hope this helps or point you in the right direction.

i got to know what cycle you are using the timed dry or the auto cycle timed dry you may have a bad timer if auto dry it coult be the auto dry resistor or it could be a clogged vent.

I would think the timer is not used but a humidifier when on auto dry mode. Check the humidistat, should be either make or break contacts, open or closed.
