The Dryer Timer is an OEM part for GE dryers. It controls the duration of the drying cycles by regulating the flow of electricity to the dryer’s motor and heating element. The timer ensures that clothes are dried for the correct amount of time based on the selected cycle, contributing to efficient and effective drying.

Causes of a bad dryer timer can include electrical failures, wear and tear from frequent use, or internal mechanical issues. A malfunctioning timer can result in improper drying times and affect the performance and efficiency of the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad dryer timer include:

  • Dryer not starting or stopping at the correct times
  • Dryer running continuously or not advancing through cycles
  • Inconsistent drying results
  • No clicking sound from the timer during operation

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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Dryer Timer (Part Number: OEM17364666)

Michael E for Model Number HTDX100EM8WW

This dryer is just over 3 years old. Recently the dryer stopped working (won't start when pressing the button regardless of timer dial) and the timer dial is free-spinning; there is slight friction when turning the dial but no clicking/zipping sound when turning, as it did when it worked. I ordered and replaced the timer with a new part (identical to the original). The dryer worked for ONE load, then the timer failed in exactly the same manner. What am I doing wrong?!?

1 Answer

Michael, I would suspect it is the knob instead of the dryer. Remove knob and use pliers to set cycle and press start and see if that helps. New timers come already in a setting so pushing start after install it would work for a load.

Henry, Unfortunately it sounds like the contacts in the timer are sticking and would need the timer for this unit.

Juan, You will want to make sure that the skirt is on the timer properly or that the timer is installed properly as this would be the most likely cause on this issue.

Jamie, Unfortunately the timer would need to be replaced as the shaft is not available separately.

Sarah, Unfortunately if the shaft of the timer has broken off then the entire timer would need to be replaced as the shaft is not available separately.

Hello Aliya, on the timer you'll want to connect yellow to X, white to T, red to B, orange to A and brown to C. Hope this helps!

Hello Crecia, If the wires are connected electrically, it does not matter which way they are connected.

Hello Mike, you'll want to test the thermal fuse part number WE4M137, the door switch part number WE4M415 and the belt switch part number WD21X10261 as well as the idler arm. Either of these part could cause your unit to give you the symptom you are experiencing. Hope this helps and good luck!

Dan, The correct timer part number, for the model number you supplied is WE4M533 / WE4M533 . Just in case, the timer knob(white) is part number WE01X20374 / WE01X20374. Both parts are in stock and available at this time. Thanks,
