    Amana Dryer Timer does not move & stop in Auto/delecate Mode
    :confused:My Amana gas dryer ALG 443 RAW works fine in all modes but Timer does not move & does not stop in Auto/ Permanent press mode. Dryer runs for ever.But it stops in the timed dry. The timer is fairly new. I checked the cycling thermostat's 3 terminals for continuity as well as Bias heater for continuity and they read 00.5 ohm. I ran the dryer after removing the lint collector attached to the blower housing but didn't yield any result. Appreciate your solution for the problem. I

    During research I red that dryers are sensitive to airflow. I cleaned the vent and took out good amount of trash. Now the dryer performs OK in the auto mode.
