Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Timer (3-Cycle) by Whirlpool

This 3-cycle dryer timer controls and advances the drying program. Replacing a worn timer restores reliable cycle selection, proper progression, and automatic shut-off so the dryer runs and stops when it should.

• Times and controls up to three drying cycles
• Advances the timer motor to move internal switch contacts
• Routes power to motor/heater per the selected setting and turns the dryer off at cycle end
• Common symptoms: cycle won't advance, timer knob doesn't move, dryer won't shut off, only one cycle works

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control console; note or label wire positions and transfer one at a time to the new timer
• Mount using existing hardware and align the timer shaft with the knob
• Run a test cycle to ensure the timer advances and shuts off properly
