Dryer timer will "click" but not advance if the timer is in the "Off" position.
Heating element will turn on and glow red while timer is in an "on" position, without pressing the Start button.
Troubleshooting the glowing heating element, I took off the assembly that encases the heating element, removed the heating element to ensure it isn’t grounded, didn’t witness any coils touching the frame…so I put the heating element back in the metal casing, put it back on and the problem persists.
Heating element will only remain on for 10-20 minutes of a full cycle then turn off.
The dryer is venting into the wash room, checked the venting and it is not clogged at all.

Not sure what this means. As far as I know when at "Off" the timer should not even click but I have no experience with commercial dryers so this may be related to the coin operation.

Dryers have a centrifugal switch on the motor that is normally open when the motor gets close to operating speed this switch closes providing power to the heaters. This ensures that there is air flow before heating starts. Perhaps the switch contacts are welded shut or for some reason it is remaining closed even when the motor is off. See page 11 in the manual.

Again not sure about this. Heating elements do not stay on for a full cycle.
They turn on/off to regulate the temperature. Does the heater come back on or does it stay off?
Sorry I could not be more helpful, hopefully someone with commercial experience will jump in.
As stated earlier in the post, my dryer is a KENMORE. Model 110.96478100. When clicking on the link you provided, it provides parts for model [B]110.96407160[/B], which is a Whirlpool, as its closest match.
The motor has pooped out on me, and will "growl" when I press the start button, but does nothing further unless I hold in the door switch with my knee, press the start button, and "help" the tumbler start its tumbling motion, then will stay on for 5-10 minutes and die out.
Think I need to sell this on craigslist for 5-10 bucks. Thanks for the help anyway!
