Jerry C August 12, 2018 for Model Number 110.97581200 My gas dryer burner has stopped lighting. The drum turns and the bloweer is working, but the timer is not moving, and the burner does not light. If the Timer is bad, would that also keep the burner from lighting?
1 Answer Jerry, check to see if there is 120 volts going to the gas igniter, it there is voltage and it does not light up, replace the igniter, part number is 279311 Read More...
Ronnie D January 21, 2017 for Model Number 11096374210 I bought a replacement dryer timer the part #wp3396190 . The wiring instructions tells me to move wires but I do. Not have the same color wires.i do not have a white wire to go to the bu tab. I do nave a brown/yellow to go the wr tab.please advise.
1 Answer Ronnie, Unfortunately we do not have a wiring diagram on this unit to be able to assist properly. Normally the timer is color coded and you just plug up to the corresponding letters. This timer is showing to be the exact same part as what came off the unit so should just be able to transfer wires from one to the other and put in the same positions. Read More...
David September 03, 2015 for Model Number Model 96281100 Dryer heats and runs, but will not shut off. Do we need a new timer and what parts are compatible? Thank you , David Serial number mc 1191828
1 Answer Hello David. If there is power coming to the timer motor, and it does not advance and turn off, you will need to replace the timer on the unit. As for the correct part needed, we will need your full model number. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page.

Mitchell March 26, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore 110.96581120 Recently, our dryer has been acting up. No problems with the motor, heating elements, etc. The problem appears to be with the Timer unit. A year or so ago, the START button stopped working, but we have always been able to start the dryer by simply turning the timer knob counter-clockwise into the "timed dry" area. It would run for the set amount of time and then cut off as usual. No problem. After a while we noticed that, after we reached the set point (60 min. for example), we would have to "jiggle" the timer handle to get it to run. Today it has finally decided not to run at all. Do you think its the timer unit, or could it be something else. Its old, not sure we want to put much into repairing it. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Mitchell. Based on the information you provided, it does sound like the timer is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Make sure the thermal fuse and the door switch is good. Read More...
Charles November 01, 2013 for Model Number 110.96273100 62731 Dryer heats and runs, but will not shut off. Do we need a new timer and what parts are compatible? Thanks, Chuck
1 Answer Charles, Yes you will most likely need to replace the timer WP9830714. you also need to check the resistor 279872 attached to the timer terminals to make sure it has not failed first. If it has failed, the timer will not advance, also. Read More...
