🧩 Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm your dryer’s model number label (usually inside the door frame or on the rear panel) to ensure this part is correct.
-
This timer is typically mounted behind the front control panel, connected via a multi-wire harness.
-
If the timer failure appears to be due to electrical arcing or mechanical wear, inspect related components such as the door switch, start switch, thermal fuse, and venting/airflow system—underlying faults may shorten timer life.

After installation, turn the timer knob through all cycle positions (with power off) to ensure smooth mechanical engagement before closing the panel.
