Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Timer (2-Cycle) (Part Number: OEM18025728)

1 Answer

Adam, It sounds like a contact in the timer is what is causing it to kick off and the timer would be the part that you would want to replace.

Mikel, It sounds like the issue with the unit will be caused by a centrifugal switch on the motor sticking. This would require the motor to be replaced.

M D for Model Number LEN2000KT1

My dryer seems to heat and all options work well. However, after the dryer stops a cycle, the timer continues to tick and move forward. It will continue to tick forward forever, unless I open the dryer door or unplug the dryer. This wouldn't be such a concern, except sometimes, I will put the dryer on Auto Sense. It will complete the cycle, but the timer will continue to tick forward until it hits a timed cycle. Then dryer will start again and go through the timed cycle! Then the auto sense cycle, and continue on. Does this sound like an issue with the timer?

1 Answer

M D, Yes, the timer advancing past the off position to the next cycle would be caused by a faulty timer in which the contacts are sticking.

Barbara, Any time the dryer will not start at all the first thing to check is the thermal fuse on the blower housing. Test the fuse for continuity and test the door switch for continuity. If both of these check ok then the most likely reason for the unit not turning on would be a bad motor.

Ajay, You will want to double check the venting just to make sure that there is nothing clogging it. Also check the cycling thermostat to make sure that it is good. The two smaller terminals should have voltage to them when the heating element cycles off. It sounds like the cycling thermostat may be the issue especially since the accu-dry is not working.

Curt, If you have tested the thermostat, thermal fuse, heater and changed the timer, but the unit is still not drying then you will want to check the Terminal block to make sure that there is 240 vac getting to the terminal block. If this checks ok then the motor would most likely be the issue.
