a timer control switch the second timer switch 32 39 is essentially a heater control switch the third timer switch 34 39 is essentially a motor control switch and the fourth timer switch 36 39 is essentially a signalling control switch as shown in fig4 the first timer switch 30 39 is connected in series with the timer 38 accordingly the timer 38 is directly controlled by the first timer switch 30 39 the second timer switch 32 39 is connected to a fabric selector switch 40 the fabric selector switch 40 has first second and third fabric selector switches 42 44 and 46 which are in series with the second timer switch 32 39 the first fabric selector switch 42 controls the timer 38 the second fabric selector switch 44 in connection with a temperature sensor 48 controls a heater 50 and the timer 38 the third fabric selector switch 46 controls a thermostat heater 52 when the third fabric selector switch 46 is closed the thermostat heater 52 is operated in order to add additional heat to a temperature sensing element 54 of the temperature sensor 48 which causes the temperature sensor 48 to be satisfied earlier than would otherwise be the case accordingly the impact of the heater 50 may be reduced for delicate fabrics the fabric selector dial 22 determines which of the first second and third fabric.
