How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6016541 / WPW10185982 Dryer Timer Control

Replaced the timer. 

Replaced Whirlpool electric dryer timer part. 

I got on appliance parts pros.com and found a video to troubleshoot my dryer. I found that I needed a new timer and cycling thermostat. I received the parts in 2 days and had them installed in about 20 minutes. Our dryer runs like new now. Thank you appliancepartspros.com for the informative videos and fast service. This repair was super easy! 

After watching videos of how to diagnose the problem I went to AppliancePartsPros.com and looked up the parts diagram. After finding the needed part I ordered it and received it the next day before noon. Great service. There was also a video of how to replace the part. Very helpful. 

No problem to fix. Removed back cover, unplugged wires, took the old part off. Replaced with new part, plugged wires back in, replaced back cover and plugged the dryer power cord back. Dryer started right up, timer advanced and the dryer buzzed and stopped. Runs like new! 

Changed the timer it didn't fix it, the heating element was good but changed it and changed out the thermostat kit (think that's what it's called) and now working great. Thanks to appliance parts pros, I got all my parts for less than the places around here. If I need something else I'm ordering from this company and we got it on time. 

I messaged the representative who recommended which part to order. I watched the video and decided that I could do it. So this 70 yr old female fixed her dryer! Yippee, I did it! The video gave me the knowledge I needed. It was an easy fix. THANK YOU! 

At first it took longer and longer to dry, finally no dry at all. Also the dryer would not continue on the "anti-wrinkle" start-stop cycle, but just stop once. On a previous dryer, I had successfully replaced the thermostats. Time to break out the multimeter again. Fired up my trusty YouTube, and found a video for Whirlpool dryers that stepped through the testing of the thermostats and timer. In the video, the timer was the culprit, which also proved to be the case for me. The part was clearly labeled, and I was able to order it online and get it the next day. The install was two screws and some plugs, et voila! a working dryer. 

Replaced the timer assembly. Your video for changing this switch was very helpful. 

Thanks to your videos it was relatively easy. I followed your most likely fixes and of course it was the last that repaired my dryer that is now working fine. 1st I changed the fuse (problem not solved)10-15 min. 2nd tested the element (it was fine) and changed the thermostats (problem not solved)15-20 min. Finally after changing a new timer switch 5-10 min my dryer is now working perfectly. Beats the cost of a new dryer and saves the land fill. Thanks Guys
