How to test a dryer timer resistor?
Is
there any way to test the Timer Resistor for this dryer. The timer
works normally in regular timer mode but will not advance on the
Permanent Press or Auto Cycle?
Auto or Permanent Press :Some dryer models use a SPDT thermostat to
control the advancing of the timer in the 'auto' or 'permanent press'
cycle as described above. Others (older Whirlpool built models
especially but also some newer Frigidaire and GE dryers) have a resister
in series with the timer's motor which only allows power to flow to
that motor when the heater is cycled off by the control thermostat. On
the latter design should this resister fail, it will stop the timer from
advancing in the auto dry mode but will still advance normally on
regular timed cycles.
