However, the element will stop heating if I manually turn the timer to the off position. I checked the door switch and it checked ok. I suspect the switch down on the motor which has six terminal on it is faulty. Can someone confirm if this switch will cause this issue. Thanks for your help.

Probably it's contacts are welded together.
