This Dryer Timer controls the electrical components of the appliance and the duration of its drying cycles. If any of the contacts in your appliance’s timer have burned out, or if the motor inside the unit shorted out and the timer is no longer functioning, you can easily replace the assembly with this part. This timer does not include the control knob, but you can purchase it separately (Item-WPW10711289). Note that this issue is often misdiagnosed; refer to the Repair Help section on the Whirlpool Parts website for additional repair information. This high-quality and durable replacement part is easy to install with basic hand tools like a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the dryer, and a novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this replacement part.
