The Timer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It controls the electrical components and the timing of the dryer cycle, ensuring that the dryer operates for the correct amount of time based on the selected settings. The timer helps manage the duration of each drying phase, such as heating, tumbling, and cooling.
Causes of a bad dryer timer can include electrical issues like short circuits, wear and tear from repeated use, or internal mechanical failure within the timer mechanism.
Symptoms of a bad dryer timer include:
- The dryer not advancing through cycles
- The dryer continuing to run even after the set time
- Inconsistent drying times or incomplete drying cycles
- The dryer not starting at all
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
