Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Timer (Part Number: OEM18027084)

1 Answer

Hi Termite. Is the timer making a rattling or a chatter sound? They will do this for a period of time before the timer fails. This will be part # WP3976576. If the door is opening slightly, the door switch is part # WP3406107. Thank youIt sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. .

Hello BA, each line after the normal dry would approximately add an additional 20 minutes to the cycle run time. Making the cycle longer than necessary, approximately 2 hours instead of 1 hour. If you are setting the timer dial too close to the start of the auto dry cycle, you could be missing the heat circuit detent causing the dryer not to heat. Try running the dryer only 1-2 lines after the normal dry setting, hope this helps!
