Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Timer Control Assembly by Ge

Ed, the timer used with the model provided would be part number WP3976569 and the wires would go as follows: black wire to BK, red wire to R, blue wire to BU, purple wire to V, white wire with black stripe to WB, and the orange wire to OR.

Kate, The timer with the knob on it should turn without power applied to it.

Miguel, There should be a belt switch that you would want to check as well to ensure that it is good. Also, to properly assist with the question we will need to have the model number of your dryer.

Charles, the timer WE4M533 would be used with the model provided.

Elizabeth, pink will go to terminal X, purple to terminal A, blue to terminal J, tan to terminal F, orange to terminal C, and yellow to terminal H. There should be a red wire for the incoming voltage that would go to terminal B. With the wires plugged in, the grey could be in place of the red wire and can be verified by testing for 120VAC when plugged into the timer and the timer in the off position. If there is 120VAC, the grey wire is the incoming voltage supply.

Randy, It would appear that the correct timer for your unit will be WE4M271 and here is the wiring information that would be on it. A-Orange B-Red C-Brown S-Black T-White X-Yellow

Jenn, Basically, you'll need to check the outlet and the power cord and the breaker to make sure there's power to the dryer. Since you've replaced the start switch, the next check should be the door switch. It has to have a "closed" circuit when the door is closed, to complete the circuit and allow the motor and heater to operate. Then check the motor/idler pulley and belt, if the belt broke, if the switch has failed the dryer won't start and run as well. A model number would be a big help in researching and advising you properly. Thanks,

Gerardo, for the model provided, the red wire would go to terminal B, the orange wire with black stripe would go to terminal A, the pink wire would go to terminal H, the tangerine and the brown wires go to terminal C, the black wire goes to terminal S, the yellow wire to terminal X, and the white wire to terminal T.

Leonard, The Orange wire will go to Terminal A, the red wire will go to terminal B. THe Brown wire will go to terminal C, the White wire will go terminal T, The black wire will go terminal S, the Yellow wire will go to Terminal X and the last wire will go F.

Larry, it is recommended that the terminal block is tested for 240VAC from the black wire to the red wire. If there is not 240VAC, either there is a power cord issue or a power supply issue. If there is 240VAC, set the timer WP8299779 to timed dry and measure for 240VAC from the timer terminal BK to the timer terminal WB. If there is 240VAC and the timer does not advance, the timer has failed.
