1. Turn off power to the dryer at the circuit breaker to ensure complete power disconnection. Electric dryers typically use a 240V circuit.
2. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet for additional safety.
3. Verify power is off by attempting to turn on the dryer. The dryer should not respond.
4. Open the dryer door fully to provide access to the control panel area.
5. Take multiple photos of the timer location, mounting, all terminal connections, and wire routing before disassembly. Document from multiple angles. This is absolutely critical for proper reassembly. Use a camera or smartphone to capture high-quality images.
6. Create a detailed terminal map by photographing each terminal connection and labeling it with its function (power input, heating element control, motor control, end-of-cycle, etc.). Use masking tape to label each terminal as you photograph it. Number each terminal (1-8) for easy reference.
7. Remove the control panel by locating and removing the screws securing it (typically 4-8 screws on the top or sides of the control panel).
8. Gently pull the control panel forward to access the timer mounted on the back of the panel. Support the panel carefully to avoid damaging the wires or connections.
9. Locate the dryer timer mounted on the back of the control panel.
10. Take additional detailed photos of all terminal connections before disconnecting. Photograph each terminal from multiple angles to capture the wire colors and terminal positions.
11. Disconnect all wires from the old timer by carefully removing each wire from its terminal. Label each wire with masking tape indicating its original terminal position and wire color.
12. Verify all wires are disconnected by attempting to gently move the timer. The timer should not be attached to any wires.
13. Locate the timer mounting screws or clips that secure the timer to the control panel (typically 2-4 mounting screws).
14. Remove the mounting screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
15. Carefully remove the old timer from the control panel and place it on a clean work surface with adequate space for inspection.
16. Inspect the old timer for visible damage such as a stuck or frozen motor, broken gears, burned contacts, corrosion, or discoloration. This confirms the diagnosis.
17. Inspect the timer mounting location on the control panel for damage, corrosion, or debris. Clean the mounting area if necessary using a dry cloth.
18. Unpack the new 33953375 timer from its packaging. Handle carefully to avoid damaging the internal motor or gear mechanism.
19. Verify the timer specifications match the old timer: dimensions approximately 3-4 inches x 2-3 inches, terminal count (typically 6-8 terminals), mounting hole locations, motor voltage (120V AC, 60 Hz).
20. Compare the new timer to the old one to verify the dimensions, terminal positions, mounting holes, and overall appearance match. Ensure you have the correct replacement part.
21. Inspect the new timer for any damage or defects before installation. The timer housing should be intact with no visible damage, and the motor should turn freely when the knob is rotated.
22. Position the new timer on the control panel, aligning the mounting holes with the panel mounting points.
23. Install the mounting screws to secure the timer to the control panel. Tighten gently but firmly—do not overtighten, which can crack the timer housing.
24. Verify the timer is securely mounted and does not wobble or shift when gently pressed.
25. Reconnect all wires to the new timer by pushing each wire onto its corresponding terminal. Use your labeled wires and detailed photos to ensure correct terminal placement.
26. Verify each wire connection is secure by gently tugging on each wire. Wires should not pull off—they should be firmly seated on the terminals.
27. Double-check all wire connections by comparing your installation to your detailed photos. Verify each wire is in the correct terminal position.
28. Verify no wires are loose or partially seated by visually inspecting all connections. All wires should be fully seated on their terminals.
29. Carefully position the control panel back into place on the dryer, ensuring no wires are pinched or damaged.
30. Reinstall the control panel by securing it with the mounting screws.
31. Restore power at the circuit breaker and plug in the dryer.
32. Turn on the dryer and set it to a short drying cycle (10-15 minutes). Observe the timer knob to verify it rotates smoothly.
33. Verify the dryer begins heating by feeling the dryer vent for warm air. The heating element should activate within 30 seconds.
34. Monitor the dryer for the full cycle duration to verify the timer counts down properly and the dryer shuts off when the cycle completes.
35. Test multiple drying cycles with different time settings to verify the timer operates properly at various settings.
36. Listen for unusual noises from the timer area. The timer should operate quietly without grinding, clicking, or buzzing sounds.
37. Monitor the dryer for 24-48 hours to ensure the timer operates properly without issues.

Safety Notes: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker and unplug the dryer before working on it to prevent electrical shock. Electric dryers operate on 240V circuits, which are extremely dangerous. Handle mechanical components carefully to avoid damaging sensitive gears or contacts. Ensure all wire connections are fully seated and secure before restoring power. This repair requires moderately advanced mechanical skills and careful attention to terminal connections—most homeowners can complete this repair successfully with proper precautions and documentation.
