I have replaced the timer switch twice, but I am having a problem with the timer not shutting off or not starting in some cases unless I move the switch around. Could I have receive bad switches twice or perhaps the wrong switch?

I do appreciate your time. So, here it goes. The original problem was that the dryer timer was not advancing in normal, delicate, air fluff modes. It only advances in timed dry mode. I removed the neutral side of the dryer timer motor and put it to case ground. It then advanced, I assumed a bad timer that was losing neutral in all but timed dry mode. I then read the wire diagram and noticed some info that said with tm to rsi closed timer motor will not run until a heat contact opens. At this point I ran the dryer in normal dry mode with my meter on the two wires coming off of the timer motor and started to pull off one wire from the heat contacts. Making the dryer think they were open. I never received 110 volts across the timer. I installed new timer. No change. Spoke to appliance parts pros and they told me it had to be the resister. Installed new resister. No change. I had another tech i know look at the wire diagram and he is confused because it shows a neutral only for timed dry. Any help would be great, thanks, Todd from NY
