Customer Questions and Answers for Timer by Whirlpool

The Dryer Timer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This timer controls the length of the drying cycle by regulating the electrical components of the dryer, such as the heating element and motor. It ensures that the appliance runs for the set amount of time and shuts off automatically at the end of the cycle.

Causes of a bad Dryer Timer can include wear and tear over time, electrical faults such as short circuits, or damage to internal gears or contacts. A malfunctioning timer can result in improper cycle timing or failure to start or stop the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Timer include:

• The dryer not starting or stopping as expected
• Inability to switch between cycle settings
• The timer knob not advancing or getting stuck
• Inconsistent drying results due to premature shutoff or extended cycles

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
