Description

This mega encoder control is the electronic encoder assembly used on select residential dryers to monitor and communicate rotary/position signals to the main control, helping the dryer select and run the correct cycles. Replaces a worn or failed encoder to restore proper control signaling. What it does:

• Detects rotary/position input and sends encoder signals to the dryer control board
• Helps the control recognize selected cycles and timing inputs
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as unresponsive cycle selection, incorrect cycle behavior, or control errors
• Works as the interface for encoder-driven cycle selection on compatible dryer models

What's included: One mega encoder control assembly Install notes:

• Follow the dryer manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and wiring diagrams
• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle the encoder and associated wiring carefully to avoid damage to connectors or flex circuit
