The service manual for the 806 with Bar Baffles says
with dryer empty, shut-off solenoid should activate as follows:
Regular Dry = 9 to 11 minutes Permanent Press = 12 to 19 minutes Do you have the bar or the wire baffles? They are the baffles inside the drum, the newer ones have two metal bars on top, the older ones are wrapped with a wire. I had loose connections on my electronic control board and it caused weird things to happen so you ought to check that too. | ||

The times are right and the damp dry runs less than 15 seconds. It has the 2 bars but the brush on the sensor was bad (crumbed into tiny pieces) and I could not find a replacement so I took it to the motor repair place in town-they did not have a brush to fit but gave me one to file down. The dryer is drying its first load now. | ||
