How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6016542 / WPW10185992 Dryer Timer Control

Removed broken timer. Installed new timer. Easy 

Ordered the parts and watched a few videos from appliance parts pros 

Replace with new timer 

Replaced it. 

Replaced timer 

Removed the top panel cover and replaced the timer. Very easy fix. Took no longer than 5 minutes 

Bought a new timer. 

I replaced the timer and timer knob 

Ordered the part and husband put it in. Thankfully seems to be working now. 

On AppliancePartsPro.com I use the Get Repair Help at the top right of the pages and was able to see the problem was most likely the timer. Ordered the part, and when got delivered, I unplugged dryer with a Nut Diver took off 4 screws on the back panel of the dryer, then 4 screws that held the timer in place unclipped 3 wire hook-ups and place the new timer in. Then repeated these steps in reverse. Pitched some wet clothes in the dryer turned the timer and Presto it worked great. I would say it took me longer to get the box with the timer in it open as it did to install it. Thanks, AppliancePartsPros.com
