Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Timer by Whirlpool

This is a mechanical or electromechanical timer that controls the duration and sequence of the dryer's drying cycles. It advances through each stage of the cycle and signals the motor, heater, and other components when to turn on and off. Replace this timer if the dryer won't start, won't advance through cycles, runs continuously without stopping, or if the timer knob turns but nothing happens.
