Answer Hello Francisco! We will need your appliance serial number to determine the correct part number needed for your model. There has been a series change within the product that effects the timer on your appliance. However, here are some instructions located from the manufacture regarding the installation, hope they help! TIMER REMOVAL: 1. Disconnect power to the machine. 2. Carefully lift the timer knob and dial off the timer shaft by pulling the knob away from the face of the control console. 3. Remove the two timer mounting screws (no exposed on the control console) when the timer dial skirt is removed. 4. Disengage the console assembly from the top cover and roll forward. TO REMOVE THE CONSOLE ASSEMBLY: 1. Disconnect power to the machine. 2. Remove the three screws securing the console rear cover plate across the rear top edge of the console. 3. Lay a dropcloth across the top cover of the dryer. 4. Grasp the top of the console and gently rock the top of the console forward. 5. Roll the top of the console forward. 6. Carefully lift and roll the console forward onto the top cover. You now have access to the console components and wiring. 7. TO REINSTALL: Roll the console back into an upright postion, engaging the locking feet into the slots in the top cover. Replace the screws to attach console back to console rear panel. Read More...
