Whirlpool Electric Dryer......model LE6150XSW1..serial MB4009745.....a nicely optioned machine...lint alert tone, drum light, all high heat, big knobs, cycle end buzzer...
Timer works...as in TimeDry......but not the Sensored Auto Dry cycles, dryer runs and heats, but timer never moves, it stays there with constant cycling of heat and air.... not a drum sensor model....would the sensor in the exhaust be bad....or is this a timer issue....... have the same issue with a 1985 GE electric dryer....... any ideas of what to check or could be causing the issue?... | ||

Yogitunes, If this drier has a knob instead of a digital touch pad the way the timer is designed to work is, When the heat is on the timer is off and when the heat is off the timer is on if that makes sense. | ||

This model has a resistor used in conjunction with the timer for auto-dry cycle. could be the resistor or the timer. There is a timer contact that comes into play only in auto-dry. The resistor can be connected directly to the timer or inline as part of the wiring harness in the console. Hope this helps. | ||

Thanks for the info guys......a clogged vent may have been the reason as to why it was thrown out....but I have cleaned it completely out, and its just sitting in the middle of the room right now while testing it....no outside vent hooked up....but will take all of your advice, and check out these sensors....its a simple setup, nothing complicated....for the most part it should be easy to diagnose....
still working on it.... | ||
