No heat on some cycles, wouldn't run a long time, clothes wern;t dry
Pulled the plug from the wall outlet. Removed back on control panel. Removed switch, installed new switch. Very easy. Also had to replace the knob, as it was cracked where it slides over the stem of the timer.

Timer had worn out & knobs needed replacing
I got the parts & a friend did the repair. He removed the "cover" from the top of the dryer to install the new timer. He "plugged" it back in, put the cover back with the screw driver & replaced the knobs & the dryer was good to go. It was much easier than I thought it would be. Getting the parts from you guys was awesome - the delive

The timer knob keeps cracking..cannot turn the timer control ..i have replaced it 3 times..could the problem be with the timer switch itself? The part the knob slips on to looks a little worn (rounded)

Hello Sue, thank you for contacting us. If the shaft of the timer is worn out and causing issues with the knob, you would need to replace the timer. Hope this helps!

The shaft broke off, but the dryer is working just fine otherwise and i already have the replacement knob. Do i have to pay $135 to replace the entire timer, or can i buy just the shaft? Thanks so much.
For model number DDE7200SBLWW
Hello Kathleen, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the shaft is an intricate part of the timer and cannot be replaced separately. You would have to replace the whole timer, part number WE4X795. Good luck with your repair!
