When to Replace

• Timer Stalls: The dryer runs continuously because the timer dial fails to advance toward the "Off" position.
• No Start Condition: The timer fails to complete the electrical circuit to the motor or heater when the start button is depressed.
• Heater Won't Engage: The dryer spins but the air remains cold, and the timer is found to be not sending voltage to the heating circuit.
• Mechanical Stripping: The internal gears have failed, causing the timer knob to feel loose or spin without engaging the switch.
• Burned Contacts: Visible arcing or a burnt smell originating from the timer housing within the control console.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Ensure the dryer is completely disconnected from the 240V/230V power supply before beginning work.
• Documentation: Take a photo of the wire harness and individual wire colors connected to the back of the old timer to ensure correct orientation on the new part.
• Terminal Transfer: Use needle-nose pliers to move the female spade connectors one by one from the old timer to the new one to avoid any wiring mistakes.
• Knob Handling: Carefully pull the timer knob straight off the shaft. If it is stuck, check for a small locking pin or clip on the back of the console.
• Post-Repair Test: Once the console is reassembled, run a 10-minute "Timed Dry" cycle to ensure the motor starts and the dial moves as expected.
