This is not strictly speaking electronics, but it should be a a piece of
cake. Let me know if there is a more appropriate forum.

I have a GE drier model DDC0580BBLWH drier whose timer is not advancing.
My wife set the thing up one evening and the next morning I found it still
running--I don't think this is areal good safety-wise.

I assume that if I get a replacement timer module it should be fairly
simple to hook it up, but it's not worth my time if the job isn't a
slam-dunk. What I want to know is are there any tricks to this that would
make the job more complicated than it should be because if so I'll just
pay to have it done.

If it has one of the dryness sensors, that could be the problem. I have seen
these fail with an open electrolytic filter capacitor. That module will
either allow or not allow the timer to advance. Try it on timed heat first
to see if it advances then.
