    Thats very strange, don't know what could be happening now. But that timer seems bad if its not moving in timed dry, or is it auto-dry that its not moving in?

    Here's the timer for this model:
    Manufacturer's Number: WE4X788

    WE4X788

    But yes, I agree with you, there's gotta be limit on how much parts you want to keep replacing, seems like its coming down to nickel and dimming you now, so I'd suggest just possibly thinking about starting over with a new dryer, as this one does have quite abite of age on it as well.

    Thanks Jake!

    I took it apart again, and can not find anything that is shorting the heating coil out. I can't figure this one out. At this point I do not want to put any more money in to it. The plan is to get a new dryer.

    Thanks again for you efforts!
