This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.
- Provides precise resistance to reduce voltage/current in the designated dryer circuit
- Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
- Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
- Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition
What's included: One resistor Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
- Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
- Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
- After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function

Timer wouldn't advance on my dryer John L. • Oblong , IL • March 22, 2016
I ordered a new timer and installed it with the help of the videos provided and this did not solve my problem so I chated with the pros @ Appliance Parts Pros and told them my problem and they told me the problem and recommended the part I needed and With the incredibly fast shipping I had the part the next day. I installed it and now my dryer timer works great.Thanks to APPs for their help and ease of ordering and fast shipping. I highly recommend AppliancePartPros and will definitely use...
