Description

This mechanical dryer timer controls cycle selection and timing. Replacing a failed timer restores proper cycle advancement and automatic shutoff so your dryer runs and stops when it should. What it does:

• Advances through timed and automatic cycles
• Turns the dryer off at the end of the cycle
• Common symptoms: timer won't advance, dryer won't start, runs until manually turned off, stuck on one setting

What's included:

• 1 mechanical timer assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control panel, remove the knob/dial, and transfer wires one-for-one from the old timer to the new timer
• Mount the timer in the same orientation and reinstall the dial/knob
• Run a timed-dry test to ensure proper advancement and shutoff
