General Electric Dryer DX4500GA3WW Timer will not advance

This timer is the cycle control for your dryer, advancing through the settings and switching circuits on and off as selected. Replacing a failed timer restores accurate cycle timing and dependable start/stop control.

• Advances the dryer through the selected cycle and turns it off at the end
• Routes power to components according to the timer cam and contacts
• Supports timed and automatic cycles selected by the control knob
• Common symptoms: timer doesn't advance, dryer runs too long or won't shut off, stops mid-cycle, or won't start on certain settings

• Disconnect power to the dryer (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before servicing
• Access the control console; photograph/label wiring and transfer terminals to the new timer one at a time
• Reuse existing knob and mounting hardware; ensure the timer shaft is oriented correctly before reassembly
