Shannon May 23, 2023 for Model Number WGD4800BQ2 There are a few wires and terminals to plug back into the new part after it is installed. Do you have any advice for plugging the wires into the right place?
1 Answer Shannon, If you take a photo of the way that the unit is wired before removing the timer then you can use it as a guide to rewire the timer. Read More...
Rick May 23, 2023 for Model Number MGDC300BW1 Is there a way to test my timer to see if it has failed? If so, how do I test it?
1 Answer Rick, You can test to see if there is 120 vac to the timer and if the timer is not putting power out to the motor then it would be faulty. Read More...
Alex January 27, 2022 for Model Number WGD4815EW2 The dryer continues to run even after the clothes are fully dry. The knob to set the time seems to stop its travel to the off position. I assume the timer is bad? Thank you
David B. April 02, 2021 for Model Number WGD4800XQ4 Clothes not drying in one cycle. The timer doesn't complete through the cool-down portion, in the auto dry cycle. The dryer won't run in the 'fluff/no heat" cycle. The Timed Dry cycle does complete its' cycle, but large loads don't completely dry. Timer replacement? The dryer is 10-11 years old. Thoughts?
1 Answer Hello David, This is the symptom of a dryer exhaust restriction. You should check the exhaust from the rear of the dryer and outside atmosphere. You see, if the dryer cannot get rid of the heat, lint, and moisture out of the exhaust, it will blow past the felt seals around the drum directly back into the cabinet where it is passed back across the clothes where the moisture sensors pick it up and voltage is not sent to the timer motor for advancement. To prove this, disconnect the duct from the rear of the dryer and you will see the timer advance within the first 5 minutes or so. Read More...
Jbw August 15, 2020 for Model Number MGDC215EW2 Maytag gas dryer turns on, heats ok, thermostat is good, hooked 120 volts to timer motor terminals while on work bench. After 15 minutes I could see movement of knob indicating to me motor operates. Put timer back on machine but timer does not advance on timed heating or Auto hating. I can hear gas flame cycling on/off couple of times over approximately 15 minutes. Doesn’t turn off obviously.
1 Answer Hello JBW, the timer powers its motor through its internal contacts, the timer is faulty, the timer is part WPW10185981. Read More...
