Whirlpool LER4600PQO Dryer - started not stopping at the end of a cycle and going into the next, also is getting overly hot.
By overly hot I mean even on the low heat cycle the element is getting bright red and clothes come out so hot they will burn your hands. Not to mention that even when in the "off" position the element would heat up so I started unplugging it when not in use. Went to go dry a load of clothes today and it will not turn on in any cycle, however, is still heating up. Will replacing the timer switch fix this or could there be a larger issue?

it sond's like a defective termostat easely fixed but expensive if u know what and how to do it. my sugestion is to transport it to the closest repershop to save cash
( ps. u need to make an apointment after asking how much u save on driving it to them ure self )

Please you can't even spell the words you are trying to say what is wrong. Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about, How anyone could even think this was a helpful answer is beyond me.

To the OP there will be a real expert here in a little while that can help you properly.
