🧾 Description
Bring your dryer back to reliable operation with the WP8299765 Timer Assembly, a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool.
The timer is the “brain” of your dryer — controlling when the drum spins, when the heating element turns on and off, and when the cycle ends. If your dryer is stuck mid-cycle, won’t advance, doesn’t heat, or keeps running continuously, this part may be the culprit.
Built to exact factory standards, the WP8299765 restores proper sequencing for the motor, heater, and blower circuits. It ensures every stage of your drying cycle — from heat to cool down — runs exactly as intended, improving performance, safety, and energy efficiency.
⚠️ Note: Always disconnect your appliance from power before servicing. Verify your model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
