General Electric Dryer DCSR483EA0AA Timer will not advance

This timer controls the drying cycle by advancing through settings and routing power to the motor and heater. Replace a worn timer if the cycle won't advance, runs indefinitely, or stops unexpectedly on certain selections.

• Advances the dryer through timed/auto cycles and sets overall cycle length
• Directs power to motor and heater according to the selected program
• Coordinates cycle start/stop and end-of-cycle shutoff
• Failure symptoms include: timer not advancing, dryer runs but won't shut off, stops mid-cycle, or won't start on certain settings

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the timer from the control panel; retain and reuse original mounting screws
• Move wires to the new timer one at a time; label or photograph connections for reference
• Reassemble and test all cycle selections for proper advance and shutoff

The Timer Resistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It works in conjunction with the dryer's timer to regulate the duration of the drying cycle, ensuring that clothes are dried for the appropriate amount of time.

Causes of a bad timer resistor can include electrical surges, prolonged exposure to high temperatures, or general wear over time. These factors can result in the resistor losing its effectiveness or failing completely.

Symptoms of a bad timer resistor include:

• The dryer running for too long or too short a time
• Inconsistent drying times
• The timer not advancing or getting stuck
• The dryer not starting or shutting off prematurely

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
