This dryer timer is the cycle control that advances your dryer through Timed and Auto Dry settings. Replacing a failed timer restores proper cycle progression, start/stop, and end-of-cycle shutoff.

• Advances the cam and internal contacts to move the dryer through heat, motor, and cool-down steps
• Governs run time on Timed Dry and Auto Dry cycles
• Routes power to the correct circuits in sequence; a failed timer may not advance or may stop early
• Common symptoms include timer knob not moving, dryer running indefinitely, or not starting on certain settings

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off gas
• Remove knob/dial, open the console, and unmount the timer
• Label or photograph wiring; transfer wires one at a time to the new timer
• Reassemble and test both a Timed Dry and an Auto Dry cycle

This rotary knob is a direct-fit control replacement that restores a tactile grip and clear position indication for a worn or damaged control shaft. It helps users turn and set the control smoothly for reliable operation. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, cracked, or missing control knob so you can rotate the control shaft easily
• Restores positive detents and clear position alignment for accurate setting selection
• Stops slipping or spinning on the shaft that prevents proper control adjustment
• Improves user grip when adjusting temperature, cycle, or power settings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Most knobs simply pull straight off the control shaft; align splines and push on until seated
• If secured with a set screw, loosen/tighten with the appropriate screwdriver; do not overtighten
• If knob feels loose after installation, recheck spline alignment or inspect the control shaft for damage

• Holds components in correct position so doors and panels close properly
• Replaces worn or broken clips that no longer grip reliably

• Remove power or disconnect the appliance before servicing when applicable
