Gibson Dryer GEF331CS0 Timer will not advance

The Dryer Timer Knob is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It attaches to the timer shaft on the control panel and allows users to select and set the desired drying cycle. This knob is essential for starting the dryer and adjusting the drying time and settings.

Causes of a bad timer knob can include regular wear and tear, excessive force when turning the knob, or accidental impacts that can crack or break the knob.

Symptoms of a bad dryer timer knob include:

• Difficulty turning the knob or selecting cycles
• The knob becoming loose or falling off
• Cracks or visible damage to the knob
• The dryer not starting or changing cycles when the knob is turned

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This dryer timer is the cycle control that advances your dryer through Timed and Auto Dry settings. Replacing a failed timer restores proper cycle progression, start/stop, and end-of-cycle shutoff.

• Advances the cam and internal contacts to move the dryer through heat, motor, and cool-down steps
• Governs run time on Timed Dry and Auto Dry cycles
• Routes power to the correct circuits in sequence; a failed timer may not advance or may stop early
• Common symptoms include timer knob not moving, dryer running indefinitely, or not starting on certain settings

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off gas
• Remove knob/dial, open the console, and unmount the timer
• Label or photograph wiring; transfer wires one at a time to the new timer
• Reassemble and test both a Timed Dry and an Auto Dry cycle
