Craig I just purchased and received order 15635221, part AP6016541 (WPW10185982) timer. Reason was that the original timer the knob post broke off. Old and new part numbers are identical. i replaced the timer easily enough but now when the door is opened the dryer will not shut off. The switch does shut the interior light on and off so the problem does not seem to be with the door switch. Since this all ties into the timer, is something faulty with the new timer?

Your door switch has failed internally and needs to be replaced. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, March 15, 2024
