My wife told me that the auto dry wasn’t advancing. However, the timer was advancing on the other timer modes, but there was no heat at any setting. It turns out the thermal fuse was blown. Once that was replaced, the dryer had heat but the auto dry still did not work properly until the cycling thermostat was replaced. Thanks for the video.
Can you explain what the cycling stat has to do with Auto? If heat comes on in Timed dry, looks like it should come on in Auto, unless there is a problem with the timer or a bad connection. The 2 little terminals heat the stat in low or no heat cycle to fool the stat then the element shuts off. Other than that, I thought the stat just cycles the heat on and off at say 155 degrees. This varies a little with different cycling stats. Did this permanently solve your problem?
Um, mine heats and works fine on timer. But stays on forever on auto dry. It's a Kenmore. Is it for sure the thermostat you pointed out or should I check anything else first ?
curious if you ever solved this issue - I have the same problem. Auto Dry works but takes a very long time to finish the cycle... well past the time the close are actually dry
@@cliff.frankenbergermine never moves from where I place the dial on auto dry. So it heats but and dries way past the dryness of the clothes, Did you ever figure it out?
@@gizib14 I haven’t really dedicated any time to troubleshooting the issue. We just do ‘timed’ drying. As I said last time I tried it it does work, but I experimented with a small load that would probably ldry in 10 minutes and it ran for about 45 minutes. I assume it senses moisture and the ‘sensor’ is not very accurate. Honestly in the 12 years I owned this dryer, I’ve only tire that features small handful of times
I thought my issue was the timer too, but i took apart the timer and tested the leads, all were crystal clean, not even a dot of corrosion. Tested with ohm meter and tested perfect. Im hoping the thermostat change will be the fix.
Are you sure the timed dry setting wasn't advancing? If your issue was due the bad timer then that likely meant that the time dry setting wasn't moving/advancing. However, as mentioned in this video, if the timed dry is advancing but the auto dry is not then that likely means the cycling thermostat (also called operating thermostat) is bad and needs to be replaced.
Thanks! I waited until I got the part and it fixed my dryer before I sent the thanks :) Well, it works! Thanks!
Thanks so much 👍😊
I have Amama electric dryer and the high temperature auto dry not working, is there a sensor that might need to be clean?
Can you send that question to my email at: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com along with your model number?

Nice job😊

Does polarity matter? I see no indication of orientation.
Thank you for the video.
Can you send a picture of those wires to:

@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Thank you again, for the reply. I had to install it without the answer. Happily, it's working fine now.
Would this cause problems when hits cool down mode mine shuts off won't continue through cool down cycle
Thankyou
Same exact dryer. Same exact problem. This fix didn't work. Problem was the timer.
I thought my issue was the timer too, but i took apart the timer and tested the leads, all were crystal
clean, not even a dot of corrosion. Tested with ohm meter and tested perfect. Im hoping the thermostat change will be the fix.

these dont work worth a shit, theres no moisture sensor in the drum.
