yep , you got it  !     BUT , i just have to say this is why you don't need to assume what is wrong , this could have been a real mess because of a cracked knob.

Agreed; I was pretty sure there was a misundertstanding of what the problem actually was.  So I'd guess the cyclying of flame was because the timer was likely in the auto sensing dry mode, or perhaps the cool down mode.

Yep.....it was all over the place. My wife was moving the dial, and it buzzed and shut off, in what looked like the middle of the regular time cycle. That's when we started playing with it..

no worries !!  you are right about not knowing the problem , he just wanted to know how to bypass a thermal ,   if he had told us what was going on to begin with ,it would have went smoother .  people have no idea how many things can cause a no heat condition ,  just because your thermal was bad on your last dryer doesn't mean that's what is wrong now . then there is all the u tube videos that most of the time doesn't apply to the machine they are working on .  it it getting hard to help diy er's because of all the gibberish they read before they ask us

Keep in mind that timer is designed to only turn clockwise, so if someone is using excess force to turn it counter-clockwise that can crack the knob (and is really the only reason I've ever seen it crack), not to mention potentially damaging the timer. By the way, all the knobs are the same so you can temporally just swap it with one you don't use that often, like the signal control.

I need you to talk to my wife about this and cleaning the lint screen.
