The momentary contact switch on my dryer energizes the timer. My guess is
that a switch on the timer has gone bad

Have an electric dryer that will only run if you hold the start
switch, once you let go it will stop. Is there thermal protection
that might be faulty? what the best way to proceed? dryer is 7 years
old and does not have any moisture sensors or features that typically
cause this problem.
