This multi-temperature cycling thermostat regulates the dryer's drum heat, switching the heater on and off to match the temperature setting you choose. It can help restore consistent drying if temperatures are erratic, loads run too hot, or cycles take too long.

• Maintains target temperature by opening and closing the heater circuit across multiple heat settings
• Provides calibrated temperature control for safe, efficient drying
• Failure may present as no heat or low heat, overheating, very long dry times, or inconsistent temperatures
• Intended for models with multiple temperature selections

• Unplug the dryer; shut off gas supply if applicable. Allow the appliance to cool before servicing.
• Take a photo of wire positions; move wires to the new thermostat one at a time to matching terminals and ensure snug connections.
• Remove/install mounting screws and seat the thermostat flat against the mating surface for proper sensing.
• After reassembly, clear lint passages and verify proper vent airflow.

• If there's no heat at all, also check the thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, heating element (electric), or igniter/burner components (gas).
• Restricted venting can mimic thermostat issues and cause overheating or long dry times.

Includes element, thermal fuse, heat shield, heater enclosure and ceramic insulators.

This genuine replacement part is a drive motor for dryers. The drive motor is the main engine that allows the dryer drum to rotate. If the drum is no longer spinning properly, the drive motor might need to be replaced. Luckily this is a relatively simple process.To replace the drive motor, begin by unplugging the dryer. Once it is powered off, uninstall the front panel of the dryer by removing the screws that attach it. After that, lift the top panel above the drum so that it is vertical and no longer covering the drum. Then disconnect the wires from the moisture sensors with a screwdriver by pressing down on the locking tab. Once the wires have been removed, lift the drum out from the dryer to gain access to the drive motor. Using a socket wrench, remove the blower wheel from the motor assembly. Then remove the old drive motor by unthreading the mounting screws that attach it. Install the new drive motor and reassemble the dryer. This OEM replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpools, Maytag, Kitchenaid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand dryers.

The Dryer Timer Knob is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It allows users to set the drying time and cycle, providing control over the dryer's operation. This knob fits securely onto the timer shaft, and it allows for the selection of the desired drying cycle and time.

Color: White with Blue Trim

Cap Sold Separately

Over time, wear and tear, excessive force when turning, or accidental impact can cause the timer knob to crack, loosen, or lose its grip on the timer shaft. This makes it difficult to select and maintain accurate drying cycles.

Symptoms of a faulty Dryer Timer Knob include:

• Difficulty turning the knob to select the desired cycle
• Knob slipping or turning loosely
• Cracks, breaks, or missing parts

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This dryer timer controls cycle length and sequencing, advancing the machine through the selected settings and turning it off at the end. Replacing a failed timer restores proper cycle timing, advancing, and dependable automatic shutoff.

• Controls cycle timing and the order of operations throughout the selected program
• Routes power to the motor and other circuits as the internal cam advances
• Advances through timed and automatic cycles to complete the load

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also turn off the gas supply
• Access the control console; remove the old timer from its mounting and note wire locations
• Photograph wiring and transfer leads to the same labeled terminals one at a time
• Reassemble the console, restore power, and test that all cycle positions advance and shut off properly

This internal-bias thermostat regulates dryer drum temperature by cycling the heat on and off, helping maintain consistent drying performance and protect against overheating.
