Description

The Dryer Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This timer is a control mechanism that allows you to set the drying time for various fabrics and load sizes. It works by regulating the duration of the drying cycle to ensure clothes are dried efficiently without overuse of energy or excessive wear on fabrics.  

Causes of a bad dryer timer can vary from electrical problems within the timer mechanism, such as short circuits or burnt contacts, to mechanical failures like stripped gears. 

Symptoms of a bad timer:

• The dryer not starting or failing to stop at the end of a cycle 
• Clothes remaining damp or overly dry 
• The dryer operating only at a specific setting 

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