Darlene T Fayetteville , AR August 22, 2014 Bad dryer timer After calling Whirlpool customer support learned that a replacement timer would be $136. The CSR gave me the part number needed. Online I found AppliacePartsPros. I called and got a very personable CSR who took my order. I was assured the part was a genuine, new--not rebuilt--timer. My order was placed in minutes. Although I ordered standard shipping and my part arrived in 2 days!! Unfortunately Whirlpool had given me the wrong part number so I contacted AppliancePartsPros and reordered a correct part and received a return authorization for the wrong part. This transaction was handled very professionally and quickly. Again, I requested the part be shipped by standard ground. It arrived THE NEXT DAY!! WOW! I am so impressed with AppliancePartsPros, particularly since I was a first-time customer and I was somewhat apprehensive since I had no experience with them. I would highly recommend AppliancePartsPros based on my experience. The customer service reps are very personable, knowledable and professional!

Robert H Renton , WA March 11, 2015 1 no heat on high or low settings and sometimes on medium heat setting 2 no auto cool down I replaced the cycle switch, fixing the lack of heat. The timer switch replacement fixed the auto cool down. I watched a cycle switch replacement on Youtube, demonstrating removal of the top console, which answered the only question I had about the repair. The timer switch was a hundred bucks. The only thing to be said about that is that it was a lot cheaper than a repairman or replacing the dryer.

Karen W Omaha , AR January 24, 2022 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Dryer WED4815EW1 The timer knob stripped. After searching and watching videos, I determined that the only way to fix my dryer was to replace the entire timer. I also needed a new knob for the timer. Unfortunately, you can not purchase just 1 knob, you have to purchase a package that contains 1 of each of the knobs on the panel. The repair was very easy! There was a video on the AppliancePartsPros website that showed exactly how to make the repair. You do not have to be an expert to make this repair.
