Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 7/6/2015(UTC) Posts: 1		When the selector is set to the "more dry/less dry" area the dryer works correctly but will not stop .There is heat and air flow for the entire time it is running.....5 hours last evening before we realized we had a problem. Is there a moisture sensor that I do not see? The timed sections of the control work correctly.Any help is appreciated.

Resistor is next to and connected to the timer. Wiring diagram is not listed on the parts list so if you could post a copy of it, I may be of more help to you. Resistor generally reads around 4000 to 5000 ohms. Eric
