Dryer only starts intermittently

[fdipietro]

My dryer does not start consitently.  The sensor dry/quiet care selector will only allow the dryer to turn on when in very specific but random sections and then the dryer will run for a few seconds or a few minutes and then stop well before the clothes are actually dry.  The lint path is completely clean including the exhaust to the outside of the house.

Any ideas?  Do I need to replace the timer?

Thanks for any help!

Sounds like timer, try pushing up,down to the side, on the timer knob while trying to start it. I move the shaft of the timer around ( kind of like mini shifting ) while it is running, if it quits you found it.
