Manufacturer Part Number: WE04X20089

The Timer is an OEM part for GE dryers. It controls the length of the drying cycles by advancing through the cycle's various stages, including drying, cool down, and finish. This component ensures that the dryer operates for the correct amount of time based on the selected settings.

You should replace this timer if it malfunctions or fails to progress through the cycle stages properly. Common causes of a bad timer include electrical failures, worn contacts within the timer mechanism, or damage from repeated use over time.

Symptoms of a bad timer include:

  • Dryer not advancing through cycles
  • Dryer stopping prematurely or running continuously
  • Inconsistent drying times
  • Timer not moving or making unusual noises

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Howard for Model Number GLDP280ED0WS

I just received my order for a GE dryer timer. I installed the dryer timer, but it doesn't work like the previous one. I installed the wires exactly the same, but there is no definite feel on the timer as to where one cycle ends and the other begins. The dial feels mushy as you turn it. The buzzer sounds, but not where you would expect it. Previously the buzzers started sounding near the end of the dryer cycle, now they buzz 30 minutes before the cycle ends. The dryer timer I took off was a NormPacific Model# TMD14M08.

Howard, the timer should have a smooth movement to it when rotated. In regards to the timer buzzer, the buzzer should start sounding when the unit is in a cool-down period. However, if the extra care switch is on, the buzzer will cycle on and off for an extended period of time. If the extra care switch is not on, then it is possible that the timer is not operating properly.

The black wire from the buzzer goes to terminal S. The yellow wire and purple wire go to terminal X. The white wire will go to terminal T.

Paul, There is a resistor WE4M255 that you will want to test and it should have a resistance of 4500 ohms. If not within range then the resistor is faulty and will need replaced.
