Brian April 10, 2023 for Model Number LER6620PQ0 My dryer runs, heats up and the timer advances but the dryer will not shut off. On any setting. I replaced the timer but the problem remains. The only way to stop the dryer is to open the door. I'm at a loss. Any thoughts? Thanks.
1 Answer Brian, With you saying the timer advances the most common problem is the timer but since you have replaced it you should replace the high-limit thermostat. When this part opens the timer advances so it could be faulty after multiple openings.If you manually turn the timer to the off position and it doesn't stop then chances are you have a faulty timer. 279816.

Brian March 31, 2023 for Model Number LER6620PQ0 My timer advances to the off position but the dryer continues to run until I open the door. It does this on every setting. I can turn the timer to off on any of the settings but the dryer doesn't shut off until I open the door. Does this sound like the timer? Thanks.

Mark August 15, 2017 for Model Number eed4400sq0 My dryer will not start or even hum. It's an estate that uses timer model number 8299778. I have checked continuity on the door switch, thermal fuse and start button. I can't find a diagram on the timer to check which leads should have power or be grounded to make sure it is bad.
1 Answer Hello Mark. You will test the black wire coming to the timer and the white/black wire. Should have 120 volts across them. 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 Read More...

Nightsky July 30, 2016 for Model Number WED5300VW0 Everything on the dryer works ...IF you apply pressure to the timer switch knob in a downward or sideways direction, or pull outward on the knob stem. Sometimes if you let go, it can run for a few seconds to minutes, but then stops; go and apply just a slight pressure to the knob/stem and it turns back on. It'll run a complete cycle ...if I stand there keeping pressure on the knob. Bad timer/switch/connection? Thanks
1 Answer Nightsky, The correct timer part number for the model number you supplied is WP8566184 / WP8566184. Based on your post description, the timer knob shaft, has dislodged from the timer cam, and in order to " make" the proper contacts, and complete the circuits in the timer you have to press or pull the shaft in order for the cam wheel to close the timer contacts. You will need to replace the timer for the machine to operate. Read More...
Claude July 26, 2016 for Model Number LER6620PQ1 Can set timer at 40 (above damp dry), but it will shut off when it hits damp dry range. Just started doing this. Timer or something else?
1 Answer Claude, Before you replace the timer WP8299778, remove the timer knob W10756270 and check to make sure the knob shaft isn't cracked, broken or distorted or has been forced or installed incorrectly. If all's OK, then replace the timer. Read More...
Thorpe October 18, 2015 for Model Number NED5240TQ0 Dryer does not start. Door switch, start button ruled out.
1 Answer Thorpe, You will want to check the thermal fuse on the blower housing to see if it has continuity. If there is no continuity then the thermal fuse is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...
