If the dryer is ok in timed dry then change this part:
appliance parts pros Part Number WHIRLPOOL AP2976290 - Thermostat, cycle 180
Goes on the heater element at the base, has 3 wires one of which power that timer in auto when no heat is being called for by the control thermostat. Confused yet? rofl

May the hinges of our friendship
never grow rusty.

About the icons: The beer is tip link, if a tech saves ya some money buy em a 6 pack. The small green square=personal message. The green dot is a link to my web page on appliance repair and other general BS I love to post. The letter sends me email and I wish I knowed how to do IM's without the IM lizards that pop up. Very annoying.

If your vent is restricted, the thermostat will cut out on hi-limit, causing power interruption to the timer motor. Try running the dryer with no vent attached to see if it still sticks before you start replacing parts.
