Dryer only runs on one setting or shuts off early? The timer controls drying cycles and heating. Takes about 15 minutes to replace with basic tools.
After calling Whirlpool customer support learned that a replacement timer would be $136. The CSR gave me the part number needed. Online I found AppliacePartsPros.

Dryer won't advance through cycles or stops mid-cycle? The timer controls cycle duration and progression. Moderate DIY repair with basic tools.
The selector knob and timer quit working on our GE dryer. We noticed the plastic selector knob was cracked inside when we pulled it off. We decided to order a new timer along with the selector knob just in case the new knob didn't solve the problem.

So it turns out we did need the timer part as well. These parts came in the... Read more

The replacement from AppliancePartsPros was a perfect match at a good price. The site also provided enough information to be pretty certain the timer was the source of our problem. Once I swapped out the timer the dryer ran perfectly again. The job was very easy except for 1 problem. The timer is mounted to the control panel using 2 pinch/spring clips, 1 above and 1 below. The above clip was easy to compress and release using either standard pliers or needle nose pliers. But the below... Read more

I'm not at all an expert in repairs...I learn how to fix things as they break by researching online so that I don't have to pay a repairman and by doing so have learned a lot of things as a homeowner, but this was my first dryer repair. My dryer had been working perfectly and then suddenly wouldn't start. The inside light still functioned, so it was still getting power.
