Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (4-Cycle) by Whirlpool

This 4-cycle timer controls your dryer's cycle selection and timing. Replacing it restores consistent cycle advancement and proper shutoff so loads finish on time without constant monitoring.

• Manages and advances the selected drying program through each stage
• Opens/closes internal contacts to route power to dryer circuits at the correct time
• Typical symptoms: timer won't advance, runs indefinitely, won't start in certain settings, or stops too soon/skips cycles
• Restores predictable cycle timing and automatic end-of-cycle shutoff

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the control console; label or photograph all wire positions
• Move wires to the new timer one at a time and secure with existing mounting hardware
• Reassemble and test multiple cycles to confirm proper advancement and shutoff
