The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part manages the duration of the drying cycles by controlling the electrical components that power the dryer. The timer ensures that each cycle runs for the correct amount of time, enabling effective and efficient drying of clothes.
Causes of a bad Timer can include internal electrical malfunctions, wear from regular use, or damage resulting from power surges or electrical issues within the dryer.
Symptoms of a bad Timer include:
- The dryer not advancing through cycles
- The dryer running longer or shorter than expected
- The dryer not turning off at the end of the cycle
- Inconsistent drying times or cycles
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
Timer would not advance past the cool down cycle as a result dryer would not shut off unless you manually advanced the time dial or opened the dryer door David F. • Carmel , IN • October 14, 2018
Replaced the timer - This should have been a VERY easy repair however, there is a clip (holding the timer to panel) on the bottom of timer than must be removed with a pair of pliers. There is absolutely NO room to access this clip so I had to take apart much of the dryer to gain access. What should have been a 15 minute repair turned into a frustrating hour.
