Dryer Timer Assembly
The timer contains an internal synchronous motor and a plastic gear train responsible for rotating the camshaft that actuates internal contact points. Mechanical failure occurs when the motor windings reach an open-circuit state or when internal gear teeth shear, preventing the physical rotation of the cycle selector regardless of electrical input. This specific assembly is the central control component for the machine's temporal logic and cycle progression.

Cycling Thermostat
In the 'Automatic Dry' or 'Sensor Dry' cycles, the timer motor is wired in series with the heater through the cycling thermostat. If the thermostat fails to cycle correctly or the circuit remains incomplete due to thermal drift, the timer motor will never receive the 'neutral' return path required to energize and advance the cams. This results in the dryer running indefinitely without the timer dial moving toward the 'Off' position.
