“When I leave the dial on a time and close the door the dryer stays on without pressing the start button. But when I switch the dial to off it turns off. Why does it stay on when I open the door then close it even if I don't press start?”

Hello- Thank you for your question. If you open the door to add something really quick the dryer can still stay on. This is normal operation. When a dryer timer is set on a Timed function, the timer knob will advance incrementally. This is normal. When the dryer is set to an automatic cycle, the timer will advance sporadically. At times, it may appear that the timer is not advancing; however, if the timer advances periodically during the indicated cycle this is a normal operation. The automatic thermostat control system continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps this air cool. When the laundry is dry enough, the heat turns off. If the timer is not advancing in the Automatic cycle and/or the Timed cycle, it will require diagnosis to determine what parts are needed.
