How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP5780508 / WE4M533 Dryer Timer Control Assembly

Planing a visit to my Son's home cross country in Denver he told of an issue he was having with his clothes dryer. I determined the issue and ordered the part from AppliancePartsPros.com and had it delivered in two days. The part arrived as scheduled and I successfully repaired his dryer. Very convenient to have the right part delivered on time no matter where I was. My Son and Daughter in law were very pleased. 

Simple 5 minute fix. Unplug machine. Three screws on the back across the top. Top forward and left to remove. Quick pic of the wires connected to the old timer. Remove the wires. Remove the old timer. Place new timer. Reattach wires confirming with the pic. Replace top and screws. Plug back in. Done!

Replaced Timer 

I ordered the new timer from AppliancePartsPros.com and the price was really reasonable and it arrived within four days. It was a super easy fix that only took about 5 minutes total and the dryer's back to working order! Goodbye Laundromat! Thanks AppliancePartPros.com! 

I watched the video on how to replace the part. With the new part laying next to the old one (which was still on the dryer), I changed each wire one at a time. Then I locked it in place on the back panel. No screws to hold it, it twists and locks really easy. The I put the back panel back on (after using a magnet to get the two screws I dropped!) This job is fairly easy for someone who uses tools regularly. The hard part would have been knowing what part was bad if it had not been for the timer not turning easily.
