By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18040149
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8566184

The Dryer Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It controls the drying cycles by regulating the duration and sequence of operations, ensuring that clothes are dried properly according to the selected settings.

Over time, the dryer timer can wear out due to regular use, electrical issues, or internal mechanical failures. A faulty timer can lead to cycles not starting or ending correctly, resulting in under-dried or over-dried clothes.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Timer include:

  • The dryer not advancing through cycles
  • The timer not moving or stopping
  • Inconsistent drying times or the dryer stopping mid-cycle

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Michael, though it's possible, it's not likely the timer. The temperature/heat should be the same on both the auto advance and the timed dry settings. Your first check should be at the exhaust vent, make sure the vent pipe and the vent hood are not kinked or clogged with debris and lint. Then check all the thermostats for a "closed" circuit(s) at room temperature. If all's OK, you'll need to observe the burner operation for 15 or 20 minutes to make sure the gas valve coils 279834 are not weak and failing causing the dryer to not heat during the cycle.
