How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6012586 / WP8299778 Dryer Timer Control

I ordered a timer from Appliance Parts Pro, I watched the video on how to install it, I installed the timer and it works fantastic! I am now so glad that I can be busy and hear the buzzer go off to let me know that the clothes are now dry. Thank you so much Appliance Parts Pro! 

I watched a couple of your video, and checked the thermostats. And the heater element and all other electrical components. I found 1 thermostat was bad, so I ordered all the thermostats and the heating element. Replaced the bad thermostat but dryer did not have any heat. I replaced all other parts and the heater element. I still had no heat coming out of the dryer. I got back on your web site and read some of the commits and read one with the same problem I had. He said replaced the timer so I ordered a timer. Put new timer in and dryer is working right again. Took timer apart and found 1 set of points we're burn off. 

My wife googled the problem then ordered the part and repaired our dryer for $100. 00 instead of . going out and buying a new dryer for $400 + . The service was great and the delivery of the part was quick I ordered on a Wednesdat and received the part 2 days later. 

Unbolted the back plate, unbolted the old timer. Then one at a time transferred each wire from the old timer to the correct position on the new timer. Bolted the new timer in, closed the back plate, done. 

Replaced timer and motor. Part arrived before it was supposed to. Was easy t access the back of dryer. The old timer came out far enough with the wires still attached to allow easy movement one at a time to the replacement part. Works great 

Ordered a timer for m this company. 

It was a very simple replacement especially given the appliancepartspros videos that are available, very easy and this job can be completed by anyone who can scooch their dryer back from the wall enough to access the plug and hatch -Unplug dryer, remove control panel rear hatch -Unplug/unscrew the back of the timer housing, remove knob from timer. Might need screwdriver to remove wires so helpful to leave the timer screwed in while you pry off the connectors first -Mind orientation of old timer when you remove it and when you mount the new one -Screw in new timer, re-attach wires based on color coding on timer and wires -Re-attach knob and control panel rear hatch 

With the help of your video I was able to replace the parts my self. 

Replaced the timer 

Speedy delivery and with support of "how to" video was a snap. Removed and cleaned lint chamber while at it, a MUST with any service on a mature dryer!!
