I have a kenmore dryer that will not turn off.After the timer runs through it cycle the dryer will stop, But the timer will continue to run and it will start back up on the next cycle. The power should shut off after each cycle, Until I hit the start button.I have to open the door to keep the machine from starting back up. Any Ideas

Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the most likely possible problem may be. They will need the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance parts dealers are an excellent source for original replacement parts and problem resolving matters. Dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
Be sure the electrical power to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs or services. Always check for gas leaks whenever moving the appliance and/or a service or repair includes any connection of a gas part.
Read the existing questions on the subject of dryers. Doing so will more quickly provide you with answers to questions & provide additional information on how to resolve the problem.
