The dryer timer controls the sequence and duration of each cycle. When its contacts or motor fail, the dryer may not start, advance, or shut off. Replacing the timer restores accurate cycle control and automatic advance.

• Sequences power through timed contacts to run motor, heat, and related circuits
• Advances the dial and stops the dryer at the OFF position
• Provides cycle timing for selected settings
• Common symptoms of a failing timer: cycle won't advance, won't start on certain settings, runs too long or won't shut off, only one cycle works

• Unplug the dryer before servicing
• Access the control console; label or photograph wire positions
• Move wires to the new timer one at a time, mount the timer, and reinstall the knob/panel
• Test cycle advance and shutoff after reassembly
