The timer shaft broke off.

I ordered 3 different switches from one of your competitors. They were all wrong. I order the same switch from you and it was correct. 5 min. later my wife's dryer was up and running. Thank you.

The dryer timer will not advance.

After ordering a thermal fuse and thermal cycle switch per APP's recommendation (a combined 86% probability of cause) that didn't fix the problem, I ordered the timer itself. The timer that was sent was incorrect and a very helpful person from your call center got the right part to me. This fixed the problem.
