Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Timer, Electronic (Dryer) (Part Number: OEM18023973)

1 Answer

Hello Joseph, If the serial number on your units' I.D. tag begins with 40 or lower you will need to order WP33001730. If the serial number begins with 41 or higher order WP33002676.

Kristy, the difference is the internal contacts in the timer itself. you will need to determine the part needed by the " series" number of the dryer ( the first two digits of the serial number) series 10 through 40 will need the WP33001730 timer, and series 41 and above will need the WP33002676. They are not interchangeable, so you'll need to verify the serial number and order the correct part number based on that.

Doug for Model Number MDE4000AYW

Our dryer was working fine until we moved it to another location. Now the dryer continues to run and does not stop when the timer gets to the stop location. The drum will stop when you open the door and will not start back unless you press the on button. The timer continues to go around and will only stop if you unplug the dryer. I pulled one of the wires off of the on button and pluged the dryer back in and the timer still continues to go around without the rest of the dryer going. Do you think I need to replace the timer, if so which one 33001730 or 33002676? Thanks Doug

1 Answer

Doug, Before you replace the timer, you may want to inspect the dryness control WP33002389, for loose wires and possible burnt tracers on the board. You could have a "fused" circuit, feeding power to the timer motor, causing it to continually run. The timer part number should you need it, is based on the serial number, if the serial number starts with 10 thru 40, you'll need WP33001730 if the serial number starts with 41 or above, you'll need WP33002676.

Steve for Model Number MDE4000AYW

Maytag Electric Dryer - MDE4000AYW, S/N: 31442399YU Timer runs constantly regardless of timed dry or automatic (moisture sensor) cycles. Timer even runs with the dryer door open does not stop at any of the "off" positions on the dial, just keeps going to the next cycle. Looking at the schematic, it appears that the power (L1) is never being switched off through the timer contact set 1. This dryer does have the electronic moisture sensor for automatic drying - is 33002676 the correct timer?

1 Answer

Hello Steve, You are correct. Contact number 1 has to be stuck in the timer. The correct timer for your unit as per the manufacturer is WP33001730.
