How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6027508 / W10894766 Timer

After checking through all the thermals and they checked normal, I Figured I'd try the timer seeing how the heating element looked and checked good along with the thermals. I would turn the dial to high heat and it wouldnt heat. I'd turn the dial again and I'd get heat for about 2 minutes. I went to Applancepartspro.com (since I've bought from them before), I typed in my modle number on my dryer, found the part on the parts diagram and bought it. It's showed up in about 2 days. I pulled the old timer out, compaired the 2, they were Identical, put everything back together, and had heat on every cycle that needed it. My wife was so excited to have her dryer back. Happy wife Happy life. 

I checked all the thermostats, sensors and fuses for continuity. All checked out fine. Only thing left was timer, ordered it, came in a day and a half, took 5 minutes to install, bam! Fixed! 

A new timer. 

Initial thought it was a senser issue, so replaced all sensors and the heating element for good measure, problem continued, all continuity checks OK, so replaced the timer which solved the problem. All parts from Appliance Parts were good and delivered on time, very pleased with their service and delivery. 

Tested continuity on thermal fuse, high limit thermostat and coils. No continuity on thermostat and thought that was the problem. Replaced it--still no continuity. Tested A and C terminals on timer--bingo! No continuity there. Bought new timer and dryer works great. It got a good cleaning to boot. 

Bought the correct part form these guys and it was pretty self explanatory switching out the old part. This site is great with lots of information from other people with the same issue and I was able to get a good idea of what was going on with my dryer. Will definitely use these guys again for other appliances. Shipping was super fast! A+, 

It's best to chat with the Pro to confirm you have the right part to correct your problem. Actually, easier than expected. Unscrew the access panel on the back, remove the old timer (two screws), unplug the wires, connect the plugs to the new timer, and put the access panel back on, Done! 

Read comments on your site for the problem. Someone had the some problem and told how he fixed it. I ordered the same part he did. The main control knob, which is called "Timer". Replacing was easy. Switched the circuit breaker to dryer off. Remove the screws holding small cover directly behind the knob with nut driver. And the 2 screws holding the timer. Removed the timer. Moved wire connectors to the new timer. Screwed the new timer in. Screwed the cover back on. Switched circuit breaker back on. Gave it try. My dryer heats now in all cycles. 

I replaced the thermal fuse, the thermal cutoff, and cycling thermostat, all to find out it was the timer knob. I could have saved some hassle had I read all comments for no heat or low heat as it wasn't any of the usual suspects. So, now I have some parts I don't need, but will keep them in case they eventually go out. The good thing being they weren't expensive! 

Used a voltmeter to test suspect parts and then ordered the part. When part finely arrived after reordered 1st one got lost. I picked up my part at post office 8-20-20 low an behold I had two parts. The lost 1 showed up also. So I took both home and used the most recent one that was reordered on 8-12-20 and it fixed the problem. I then called your co and talked to "BRITNEY "and she was very helpful after telling her I got both parts. She told me to hold the second part and that I should receive an e-mail on how to return the part within 30days. If I don't receive an e-mail within 30days the part is mine at no charge.
