This is a 60 Hz timer that controls the duration of drying cycles in a clothes dryer. It advances through each stage of the cycle and signals the motor and heating components to turn on or off at the appropriate times. Replace this timer if the dryer will not start, the cycle does not advance, the timer knob spins freely without clicking, or if the dryer runs continuously without shutting off.

This lint filter catches lint and debris during the drying cycle to maintain proper airflow through the dryer's exhaust system. A clogged or damaged filter restricts airflow, which forces longer dry times, increases energy costs, and creates a fire hazard from lint buildup in the vent system.

Replace this filter if the pull handle is broken or cracked, the mesh is torn or separating from the frame, rust or metal flakes are visible on the screen, or lint is passing through instead of being trapped. The filter is white, measures approximately 20 inches long (excluding the handle) by 8.5 inches wide, and slides directly into the lint filter slot -- no tools needed, takes under a minute. Clean the filter before every load for best performance.

This is a D-shaped knob insert or spring clip that fits inside a control knob and connects it to the control shaft on the dryer's front panel.
