Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (3-Cycle) by Whirlpool

This 3-cycle timer controls cycle advancement and timing in dryer systems, restoring normal sequencing and timed functions. Replaces a worn or stuck timer to help the dryer move through timed, automatic, and end-of-cycle positions. What it does:

• Advances dryer cycles and routes power to motors, heat, and other timed functions
• Causes the dryer to stop at the correct cycle positions when working properly
• Common symptoms: cycles won't advance, timer knob stuck or loose, dryer doesn't complete timed cycles
• Works as the central timing switch that sequences heat and motor circuits

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Use the dryer's tech sheet/installation diagram for correct wire routing and connector placement
• Verify electrical connections and test continuity with a meter before reassembly
