Dryer Timer Assembly
The internal synchronous motor is responsible for rotating the cam stack that indexes the dryer cycles. Over time, the high-impedance motor windings can suffer an open-circuit failure due to thermal stress, or the internal plastic gear reduction train can strip, preventing the timer from physically advancing despite receiving power.

Moisture Control Board
In many Maytag models, the timer motor does not have a direct path to neutral; instead, the circuit is completed through a relay on the moisture control board. If the board's solid-state components fail or the dryness sensor logic remains 'stuck' in a high-moisture state, the board will not energize the timer motor, causing the dryer to run indefinitely.

Cycling Thermostat
This component regulates drum temperature by cycling the heat source on and off. In specific wiring configurations, the timer motor is wired in series with the heater or uses the thermostat as a switch; if the thermostat fails to open at the target temperature, the timer motor may never receive the electrical potential required to advance to the next increment.
