Hi. I discovered that my dryer doesn't turn off. The timer works down to zero, but then it won't go into the stop. It doesn't matter what setting. It also doesn't heat, and I will be trying the suggestions I read today about that, so could it just be because of the no heat? It also did it in the airdry mode, so I'm not sure. If not, what is the suggestion on how to fix it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hello kdean823. Welcome to my Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
If the dryer is not heating, it will not turn off. Most likely cause for no heat is a burned out and/or defective hot surface igniter (HSI). Replace that part and problem should then be resolved. Also check the exhaust venting system as explained in the sticky note.
Read the existing questions on the subject of dryers that do not heat. Doing so will more quickly provide you with answers to questions & provide additional information on how to resolve dryer problems.

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.
