The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part manages the drying cycle's duration, ensuring clothes are dried efficiently without overuse of energy. It allows users to select the desired cycle time based on the laundry's type and moisture level.
Over time, timers can wear out or malfunction due to electrical issues or mechanical wear and tear. If your dryer isn't advancing through the drying cycle, stops mid-cycle, or fails to start, it might be time to replace the timer.
Symptoms of a bad Timer include:
- The dryer fails to start
- The drying cycle doesn't advance or stops mid-cycle
- Clothes are not dried in the time expected
- The timer knob doesn't move or is stuck
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

I called a repairman and he wanted $230 to put in a new timer so I went online to Appliance Parts Pros.com and found the part and watched video on how to replace timer. The timer cost $89 and I received it in 2 days. It took about 3 minutes to replace and my dryer works great!
