Description

This is a mechanical cycle timer that controls the length and sequence of dryer cycles, restoring proper timing and cycle selection for machines with a worn or faulty timer mechanism. What it does:

• Advances dryer cycles and routes power to the appropriate components during each cycle stage
• Commonly used when the dryer won't advance through cycles or stops mid-cycle
• Resolves symptoms such as no timer movement, no click when changing settings, or inconsistent cycle lengths
• Works as the user control for selecting timed or automatic drying functions

What's included: One complete mechanical timer assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid shock hazard
• Installation typically requires removing the control panel and securing the timer with standard hand tools
• Handle internal components carefully; avoid bending terminals or contaminating contacts
• Test the dryer through a short cycle after installation.
