Ruth October 31, 2014 for Model Number DG512 - Series 01 There is no access panel to replace timer on back of dryer.
1 Answer Ruth, Correct, your dryer doesn't have an access panel on the back of the machine. To replace the timer, you have to enter through the front control panel. Remove power to the dryer, on the top of the control panel front trim, you'll see two(2) phillips head screws on each corner. Remove the two inner screws on each corner, and pull the top out towards you. You'll need to remove the center of the timer knob with a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the nut holding the knob and skirt to the timer shaft, the remove the two 1/4 in. hex head screws holding the timer to the control panel. and slide the timer out the back of the panel. Reverse the procedure and test the dryer for operation. Read More...

Susan April 12, 2011 for Model Number DE512 I did several loads of drying and the last load didn't dry. The timer didn't move as the air continued. Could the problem be the timer. Is it possible if the timer was replaced that there would be heat or is it likely the heating element is also out? Thank you for your help with this.
1 Answer Hello Susan. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Also check the heater and thermal fuses and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. You need to fix the heating issue first, and see if the timer starts to work correctly. Hope this helps. Read More...
