This two-cycle dryer timer controls cycle selection, timing, and automatic shutoff. Replacing a worn or stuck timer restores reliable cycle advance so your dryer starts, runs, and stops when it should.
My dryer would only start (and keep running) after a lot of fiddling with the timer to find a position that "worked."

THIE REPAIR WAS ON A WHIRLPOOL TOP LOAD WASHING MACHINE At first I suspected the leak was from the pump because I had replaced the pump 2 times over 10 years. This time with the cabinet removed and filling the tub with water, I saw water running down one of the steel support arms that go under the tub, so I was guessing that it was coming from the tub seal.
