1 Answer

Hello Michael, and thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we would not be able to recommend an alternative to the timer WPW10185971 as we would not be able to guarantee that the internal system would work the same.

Stan, during a heat cycle, the timer would need to be tested for 120VAC at terminal A. If there is not 120VAC, the timer WPW10185971 has failed.

William for Model Number AGD4475TQ1

Hello I have an Admiral AGD4475TQ1 gas dryer. It does not start when I press the start button. I have tested for input voltage from the wall plug (OK) and, also found 120 volts on the blue wire and orange wire of the timer (part W10185971 E) to ground. I have tested the start switch and door switch which show continuity when pressed. I have test the thermal fuse for continuity, the thermostat, the high limit thermostat, and thermal cut off switch; they all test good. I tested from the red wire (A) to the white wire with black stripe (F), and found no voltage. Is the Invensys (W10185971 E) Timer bad? Frustrated

Brian,

You will want to test the motor to see if there is 120 vac getting to it when the start button is pushed. If there is proper power then the motor will be the issue. If not then the timer would be the issue.

Hello Mohammad. There is a locking tab you must release to unplug that wire connector. Use a flat blade screwdriver to raise and release it.

Ron,

You will want to check at the timer for power from the red to the white wire with black strip or terminals A to F for 120 vac. If there is 120 vac then the motor is the issue. If there is not 120 vac then the issue will be with the timer.
