maybe someone can help.
if i turn the timer on for eg 10 /20 minutes the dryer works . if i turn it off manually it stops. The problem is when the dryer is left to its own devices the timer stays in the same position and goes on and on drying. Does anybody know what the problem can be? or is the timer finished?!!!
look forward to some quick replies.

Hello: Angela. Welcome to the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
The problem is likely the timer control. It has it's own internal tiny electric motor. If that motor is defective the timer will not rotate. Replacement is than the only option.
Some brands and or models have moisture sensors. If that part is defective, the timer will not rotate either. The moisture sensor sends signals to the timer that the moisture level of the clothes or whatever is being dryed, has not been reached and the timer does not rotate.
Best place to help determine exactly what is the problem or is most likely to be the cause, is the local appliance part stores. The pros in these stores can also provide you with the possible causes and solutions. Appliance part stores and parts dealers are listed in the phone book.
For more detailed information read the recent postings within this forum. The questions already asked describe like or similarly related problem descriptions as your question. Those prior postings and all the replies offered within them contain almost all the required information needed.
Read the manufacturers online web site for additional product information, problem possibilities, causes, solving methods, part locations, downloadable repair and or owners manuals, which may be available online.
Search the manufacturers web site for a downloadable version of the owners or service manual. The file will be a pdf file opened with Adobe, which also needs to be downloaded first but worth having once obtained.
Check back on your question several more times. Other members posting replies in this forum topic may offer you additional advice, ideas and or repair methods.
Use the reply button to add additional information or questions. Using this method moves the topic back up to the top of the list of current questions automatically.
DRYER SERVICE TIP:
Always adviseable to clean the entire exhaust venting system every 2 years. Or during any dryer maintenance, connection and or repairs.
