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:

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.
