General Electric Dryer DDE8500SAMWH Timer will not advance

This electromechanical timer assembly controls cycle timing for compatible GE ranges and ovens, restoring accurate cook cycles and timer functions. It replaces a worn or non-advancing control to help your appliance complete timed operations reliably. What it does:

• Advances and times cooking cycles so bake, broil and self-clean operations run to completion
• Restores timer and manual cycle control when the original timer stops advancing
• Helps resolve symptoms like no timer display, oven cycles that won't start or stop on schedule, or intermittent timing failures
• Works as the user-accessible timing control for front-panel settings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service to avoid shock hazard
• Access may require removing the range/oven control panel or console; keep fasteners and trim for reassembly
• Handle connectors carefully and match wiring/location during reinstallation
