Would not run.

Trouble shooting electrical, expected a bad motor. Motor was good, Shorted pins, at timer, that runs motor and motor ran. Timer was not closing contacts to run motor. Ordered and replaced timer. All works fine now. I had a different wiring issue that agent helped me to correct on safety contacts. Wiring diagram only showed going to that switch with 4 wires, not where those wires connect to which contacts ( they are not numbered on the switch ). Her effort and patience were greatly appreciated. Trouble shooting took longer, but installing the timer took less than 15 minutes since the back was already off.

The dryer timer not working.

Ordered part then took back of dryer off. Removed old timer with all the wires still attached. Put new timer in then reconnected all the wires one by one. Extremely easy to do. The only thing was when I went to replace the knob it didn’t fit, to loose. Realized there was a small rubber tip on the old part which made knob handle thicker. Remove it from old knob and replaced on new one. Worked like a charm. Only needed a screw driver and needle nose pliers.

Timer internal gears were worn.

After guting the dryer to test the temperature switches, I noticed the timer wasn't engaging. Replacing the timer was a breeze and only took ten minutes. Taking notes of the timer wires is recommended.

Dryer timer was not working

Removed back panel. Tried to remove timer, but not able to get the torx screw driver at the proper angle to remove the locking screw. Decided to try and remove the top of the dryer, but could not find directions or example on You Tube. Spoke with factory tech and he said to try and pry the top off. I finally pushed backward on the top and it came off easily. I could easily remove the torx screw and replace the timer without any problems.
