Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This dryer timer is used to control the unit's cycles by regulating the length of time that power is directed to each setting.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Timer stopped working and I went to YouTube to find out how to test the timer.
I took two pictures of the timer wires after I removed the top. I then. removed and opened the mechanism and found a contact had burned completely off. I ordered the new timer and installed it using the wiring pictures that I took. It was an esy fix thanks to You Tube and having the exact OEM timer.

Dryer was not heating in timed mode. It was heating in other modes. Thermal cut-off broke in testing.
1/4 inch nut driver to remove panel back cover(6), timer unit(2), and cut-off(1). Pliers to aid in removing single wires from components. Most wires on timer were in position specific connectors.
Dryer would not turn off with timed dry or auto-dry
Removed knob, it just pulls off. Removed cover on backside of timer area, just the upper most section of the back. Removed the 2 screws holding timer in place. Disconnected wires one connector at a time and connected to new timer as they were removed to avoid mixing up and wires. The new timer is clearly marked for wire colors to avoid an

Probably a 10 cent part if it were available separately. I kept the old one just in case a different gear or part fails on new timer. Still better than buying a whole new dryer! Super happy with partselect.com

Dryer quit working. Could no get it to start. Previous week could get it to start by playing with the selector switch.
Unplugged the power. Removed the back panel. Removed the switch knob and removed the screws that held it in. Reinstalled the new part. Removed the wires from the old switch and installed them one at a time. Put the selector knob and reinstalled the back panel. Plugged the dryer in. Working great!

Depending on where on the cycle selector dial i'm at, sometimes the dryer will not start when i hit the start button. When i move the selector dial a little bit, the dryer will start. Likewise, sometimes the dryer will just stop in mid-cycle, but if i come and move the dial a small bit, it will start back up. Is this a problem with the selector switch?
For model number Whirlpool WED4900XW0 Dryer
Hello Jeff, thank you for inquiring. This sounds like a faulty Timer, this part number PS11746606 is the replacement for your model. You may also want to consider the Thermal Fuse, part number PS11741460. You can test the Thermal Fuse with a multi-meter. Set the multi-meter to Rx1, touch the probes to each terminal, and test for continuity. The reading should be of zero or infinity for it to be functioning correctly. Good luck with your repair!

I have tested the door switch, start switch, and thermal fuses with a continuity tester. All are working fine.When I close the door and hit the start switch, all I can hear is the motor for the timer going. How can I test the timer or the motor to make sure that they are working.Is there a way of jumping the timer to see if that is the problem?
For model number MGD5770TQ0
Hi Bill, Thank you for the question.You will need to see if there is power to the timer. If you are getting 120vac between BU and WB then you have a bad timer. You can also try and turn the knob to the next cycle to see if it starts.If it does then the timer is not advancing though the cycles and is bad. You can also press the door switch in and try to turn the drum by hand to see if it starts to spin. If it starts the motor is bad. To test the motor with the meter, Using a multi-meter, set it to AC volts. Touch the red probe to the left terminal screw and then touch the black probe to the middle screw. You should read 120 volts. Then touch the red to the middle and the black to the right screw, you should get 120 volts. Touch the red to the left screw and the black to the right screw, you should read 240 volts. Hope this helps!

Dryer shuts it self off in the middle of cycles. You can wiggle cycle knob back and forth a touch and dryer comes back on.
For model number Medc300xw0
Hello Chris, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: timer switch, thermal cut off kit, high limit thermostat, internal bias thermostat, electrode/sensor, and door switch. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Hi. My gas dryer runs a timed general cycle, shuts off but the timer doesn't advance to off and we still smell a small amount of propane until we manually turn the knob to off. Timer or gas burner assem.? thanks.
For model number MGD5740TQ0
Hello Walter, thank you for your question. It sounds like the unit is functioning great when running through a cycle, but not shutting off after the cycle is complete. I would recommend testing/replacing the Timer - 60Hz Part Number: WP8566184 and the Door Switch - 3 Wire Part Number: WP3406107 first. They are the most common issue when dealing with this kind of problem! I hope this helps!

Our Kenmore electric dryer will not start randomly. When this happens, we can move the timer knob a very small amount and then push the start button and it will run. Do you think the timer is the problem, or is there something else that i may look at?
For model number 110.69722800
Hello Stephen, Thank you for the question. With the information provided I would agree it is an issue with the timer switch and it may need to be replaced. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Auto dry has not worked for a while and now will not start on the timed setting or any setting. Is this typical if the timer pukes completely ?
For model number WED4900XW0
Hello Dean, thank you for your question. If the unit is tumbling but not heating the most likely issue is a thermostat or fuse. We would recommend testing those thermostats and the fuse first. If the unit does not start and tumble at all, we would recommend testing the fuse, start switch, door switch and the timer. I hope this helps.

I just replaced the element and the dryer and the fuses. The drum turns, and the fan runs but still no heat. I tested the timer for continuity, and it appears that it's working correctly. What are the odds it's the timer or could it be something else?
For model number WED5830SW0
Hello Justin, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the Heating Element Connection Wire Kit, part number PS334206. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to the timer wiring harnesses. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Crosley dryer. The plastic under the timer knob broke and dryer cannot be set and won’t work. Can this be fixed or new dryer?
For model number CED1478DW1
Hello Rita, thank you for your inquiry. Based on our research, you may need to replace the dryer timer knob, part number PS3489519, to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
