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.

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.
