How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6027508 / W10894766 Timer

After confirming that the heating element was ok (this is an excellent video on how to test every component of a dryer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18uVUz4XHbE&t), as well as other parts of the dryer, I was able to conclude that the timer was the part causing my problem. I wrote down the part number on the timer unit and looked it up on AppliancePartsPros.com and quickly found it. As additional info, a local appliance parts store wanted $126 for this part; here it was $68. I ordered it and amazingly, the part arrived the next day, less than 24 hours after ordering! I took a picture of the wiring before removing them from the old timer and reviewed it when I installed the replacement. The dryer is working again and I could not be happier! 

Purchased and replaced timer. Literally a 5 minute fix. 

Checked for continuity on heater, fuse and thermostat’s. Had continuity on all parts and wiring. Removed timer switch and disassembled found burnt contacts melted plastic stop. 

My previous timer, I learned how to make it work for about 3 extra months by looking online. After I noticed that it was not working properly I decided to replace the part. After doing research, Appliance Part Pros had it for the cheapest price and great shipment time. Since I previously repaired the part replacing it was no issue. 

Put new timer in 

Replaced the timer switch. 

Took off the back of the top part of the Dyer unconnected the old one an replaced it with the new one 

I replaced the timer with the new and is working fine. 

Found and ordered parts. Good price. Watched repair video. Kit arrived, installed timer and thermal cutoff. Parts were easy to find on-line and order. Arrived in two days. Total repair in less than an hour. Repaired refrigerator by replacing compressor control board two years ago, same excellent ordering and repair experience.
