GE Dryer Won't Stop, Timer Not Advancing, or Running Too Long? Dryer Timer WW02F00657 – Fix Cycle Control Fast

When your GE dryer won't stop at the end of a cycle, runs indefinitely, or the timer knob fails to advance through the cycle, the dryer timer is the most likely cause. In most GE-built electric dryers, the mechanical timer controls the entire cycle sequence — advancing through timed dry, cool-down, and shutoff — when the timer motor fails or the internal contacts wear out, the dryer either runs continuously, stops too early, or won't advance past a certain point in the cycle. ⚡ Common failure point in GE GTX, GTD, and HTX series dryers. Part WW02F00657 is the genuine OEM replacement timer, superseding 234D2377P005, TMD1EM35, and WE04X25280, that restores accurate cycle control and automatic shutoff.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Your dryer powers on and heats normally — only cycle timing or shutoff is the issue
• ✔ The thermal fuse and heating element have been confirmed good
• ✔ The timer knob turns but the cycle does not advance correctly
• ✔ The dryer is a GE GTX, GTD, or HTX series timed-dry model (not a sensor-dry model)
• ✔ ONLY problem is dryer not stopping, running too long, timer not advancing, or stuck mid-cycle

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Dryer won't stop — runs continuously past the end of the cycle
• Timer not advancing — knob stays in one position throughout the cycle
• Dryer stops too early — clothes still damp, cycle ends before completion
• Timer knob turns freely but dryer doesn't respond to position changes
• Dryer starts but won't enter the cool-down or shutoff phase
• Burning smell or clicking noise from the timer area during operation

✔ If these symptoms match, the timer is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this timer restores accurate cycle control and automatic shutoff immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: Moderate — 20–30 minutes. Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the dryer before beginning. Access the timer by removing the control panel — photograph the wiring harness connections before disconnecting. Transfer the wiring harness connector to the new timer, secure the timer to the panel, and reassemble in reverse order. Restore power and run a timed dry cycle to confirm the timer advances correctly and shuts off at the end of the cycle.
