Timer broke during a recent move.
Unbolted the back panel, unhooked the wires, unbolted the part. Reversed the order with the new part and done. Happy wife, happy family. The wire colors are marked on the part, easy to change out. Plug and play at its best.

Dryer cycle would never end
I furst unplugged the dryer. I pulled the knob off the timer and removed the screw holding the timer to the front panel. I then removed the hex nuts holding the steel panel on the upper portion of the dryer from behind and removed the cover. I located the timer and removed two more screws holding the timer onto the main housing. From there it was as easy as removing each color coded wire and relocating the wires to the new timer. I resecured the new timer in the reverse order and plugged the dryer back in. It couldnt have been any easier!
