Tom P Westborough , MA March 18, 2016 Faulty timer dryer would start only by moving the timer back and forth while holding the start button then the drying cycle would stop early Ordered a new timer and replaced the bad one by turning off the power to the dryer and moving one wire at a time from the old timer to the new one. Easy fix. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
