Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (4-Cycle) by Whirlpool

This 4-cycle timer controls and sequences a dryer's timed cycles, restoring reliable cycle selection and progression. It replaces a worn or non-responsive timer to help the dryer advance through timed drying, cool-down, and end-of-cycle steps. What it does:

• Rotates through the dryer's timed cycles and positions to engage the appropriate heating and motor circuits
• Restores cycle advancement when the dial won't turn or the timer won't advance
• Helps resolve intermittent or no-power-to-certain-cycle issues when timer contacts wear
• Works with mechanical selector systems that rely on the timer to switch circuits

• 1 4-cycle timer assembly

• Disconnect power before starting; this part requires access behind the dryer control panel
• May require removal of the control console or backing panel; keep track of all fasteners and wire locations
• Handle wiring harness connectors gently; match wire locations during reassembly
