Kenmore 800 Dryer

Model Number: 800
Brand: Sears Kenmore
Age: 1-5 years

Have an issue with my Kenmore 800 dryer.

Within the past week, if I have the time turned to anything past 40 minutes, the dryer will not start when I push the Start button. I have to turn the timer (dial) to a point below 40 minutes, at which point if I push the start button the dryer will function normally. Also, when I do that and the dryer begins running, if I then attempt to turn the dail to, say 60 minutes, the dryer shuts off.

Very perplexing issue and would appreciate any feedback that anyone could provide.

Thank you.

The model number that you provided is not correct. If you open the door of the dryer, the model number tag is located around the opening of the dryer.
