Dryer Timer WP33001624

When using the autodry selection the drier will never shutoff. It will continue until dor is opened. When using the air fluff option it works properly but doesn't dry properly. When using the last setting it does the same as the first.

With the timer positioned to begin, the start button is pressed and nothing happens. There is no movement or indication that the Maytag gas dryer will begin. When the timer is turned manually back to its off position and i once again press the start button, there is a "buzzing" sound at the start button position. At first, i thought that the problem may have been in the starter button, but then the sound makes me think that its actually working and the problem may lie elsewhere. If you think that it actually is the start button, i might try replacing it because it's a relatively inexpensive item. But i'm suspecting the timer may be the culprit, so i removed the timer but need help in determining if there is any way to check its internal circuitry to be sure that its actually at fault. I do have a volt/ohm tester, but not sure what to do. (the door switch is not the problem, i fixed that by taping the shut off switch to be permanently closed).

Since over a year, we have difficulties to start dryer when pulling the knobs to start it. We need to pull out many times before it start and it's getting more and more difficult. Do i need to change the timer ??

Could the timer be the problem? Burner lights for a couple minutes, then goes out. Replaced coils and checked the other components, everything else checked good. Thank you
