Hey guys. My Kenmore Model No. 11097550100 gas dryer will start, with heat most of the time, but the timer won't advance in any mode. When we first discovered the problem the dryer was running but the clothes were wet. THere was no heat even though the dryer was running. I then turned the control knob all the way around, the dryer started up, the ignitor started and everything was good, but the timer still will not advance in any mode. So we manually have to turn it off. When I have been manually turning it off after it has run awile there is no heat but the clothes have generally been dry. If I stop and then start the dryer I noticed that the heat does not always come back on. Once the ignitor glowed but the gas did not fire. Any suggestions? I replace the thermal fuse two years ago. The outside ven is clean and air blows out. Could this be a resistor problem? Thanks for any replies.
