Default Kenmore Electric Dryer Won't Stop Running

I have a Kenmore Electric Dryer (Model # 96283810) that won't stop running. Regardless of whether we set it to Auto-Dry or on the timer, the Timer Knob gets to the point where is should stop and then keeps on going. The only way to stop the dryer is to open the door. Regardless of where I turn the Timer Knob, the dryer keeps running. I assume that I need a new timer, but before I purchase one, I was interested to know if there was anyway to test for sure or if it could be a different part that is malfunctioning. Any help/thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Wade

Even if you manually turn the timer to an off position?...if yes, possible the timer contact for the motor is welded/stuck closed.

Ohm the timer contacts with a meter as per the wire diagram that comes with the dryer.

Timer assembly

Jeff,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the model # is 110.96283810. I should clarify that the timer will run down and the dryer will stop. But the timer keeps going (you can actually hear the timer ticking) until it starts again on the next timer section or the auto-dry section. I can move the timer to the off position and the dryer itself will be off, but the timer will run until it gets to the next timer or auto-dry section and then it starts back up again. Thanks for your help.
