Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Timer (Part Number: OEM18027126)

1 Answer

Pat, You had the timer set in a timed dry setting, and it never advanced and shut off ? That would be due to a loss of power to the timer(not likely) or a defective timer and timer motor circuit. WP3977678 Thats where you need to start. To access the components in the console: 1. Remove two screws that secure the console to the top. 2. Lay the console forward onto the dryer top.(place a cloth or pad under the console to protect the finish on the top.) 3. Remove the screws that secure the back panel on the console. Good Luck and Thanks
