Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dryer cycle does not advance.
• Dryer runs continuously instead of shutting off automatically.
• Dryer stops unexpectedly during a cycle.
• Timer control does not operate correctly.
• Dryer may fail to heat during a timed cycle when timer contacts are faulty.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before inspecting or testing the timer.
• Verify that the timer knob and shaft engage correctly and that the knob turns the timer control.
• If the timer does not advance, check the timer and other possible causes using the appliance wiring diagram and a multimeter, following the meter manufacturer's safety instructions.
• Before condemning the timer for a no-start condition, check more common causes such as the thermal fuse and door switch.
• For a no-heat complaint, inspect the timer contacts for continuity only as specified by the dryer wiring diagram; do not assume the timer is faulty solely from the symptom.
