Product Description

Timer Specifications

This dryer timer is a genuine manufacturer replacement part that is specially designed to fit with dryers. You can locate the timer behind the control panel of your dryer. The timer controls the duration of the drying cycle. It allows users to set a specific amount of time for the dryer to run before automatically shutting off. This feature enables you to customize the drying process to your needs based on the type and amount of laundry you are drying. If the timer is faulty, the dryer may fail to start, stop running midcycle, or run indefinitely. You may also hear a clicking sound when you turn the timer knob or you may be unable to move the knob altogether.

Dryer timer know broke
Took the 4 small screws holding the back plate in place off. Then removed all the wiring clips from the old timer. Removed the 2 screws holding the timer in place, then removed the timer and the last wiring clips. Put the new timer in place and then put all the wiring clips back on. Closed up the panel and moved the dryer back into place. Total time was about 20 min.

Timer not advancing
Timer-Removed the screws from top back panel from behind the dryer. Removed the screws on timer. Replaced one wire connection at a time. Remounted timer and put panel back on.

Thermal fuse- also because it seams to fail a lot and I was already working on the dryer. Removed lower back panel. Found fuse. Unscrewed the one screw. Disconnected fuse and put new one in. Kept old one as a back up.

Total time between replacing the thermal fuse and the timer-1/2 hr.

A little pricey, but the dryer is only 3 yrs old and I was able to fix it! Hope it will last us for several years.

Dryer would not shut off
I called an appliance repair company to do a diagnosis and was told the timer would need to be replaced. Parts and labor was quoted at $290. The dryer isn't worth that much. Found a video on this site on how to replace a timer for my model of dryer. Ordered the part for $116 and replaced it myself. The video instructions were exact step by step.

Timer on my dryer would not rotate so dryer would not turn off
With the help of YouTube, I diagnosed the problem, ordered the part, and with more help from YouTube, changed out the timer. My husband was impressed and I saved a few hundred dollars on a service call. :)

Timer won't advance - just sits in one place and i can hear the "ticking" noise of the timer - just wont advance. Purchased from you and replaced thermal fuse but no difference. Dryer heats well, does not overheat - timer just won't advance. Is next option to purchase a new timer? Ideas? Thank you!
For model number WGD5000DW3
PartSelect logo
Hi Tom, Thank you for your question. If the timer is not advancing, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the thermal fuse, the belt, the igniter kit and the radiant flame sensor. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Neither my timed dryer or sensor dry is working. The heat is good but it just continues to run with no movement of the dial.
For model number WED5000DW
PartSelect logo
Hello Bill, thank you for your question. That sounds like an issue with a thermostat or the timer itself. We would recommend testing the thermostats and the dryer fuse and if those parts are not the issue the timer should be replaced. I hope this helps!

I have an electric Maytag commercial dryer. It’s almost 5 years old. When I press the start button, the dryer starts and it runs for 10 seconds or less. Then it stops and about a minute or two later, it will start again and run for another 10 seconds or less. Prior to this recent change in behavior, the dryer was working fine. It was drying the clothes without a problem. Now, if I let it run, I smell a slight “electrical” burning smell. I have unplugged the dryer and I’m trying to figure out what part I need to replace. I am thinking it’s the timer. I read in some of the timer reviews that the timer makes a clicking sound some times when the dryer stops. That happens with my dryer, as well. The “burning smell“ seems to be coming from the back, where there is somewhat of a vent, above the cord for the plug and behind the control panel at the top and back of the dryer. Can you think of another part other than the timer that may need to be replaced?
For model number MGDP576KW0
PartSelect logo
Hello Pam, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our understanding of the issue, it seems like the timer of your model is malfunctioning and causing the burning smell. We would suggest checking the wire harness regarding the timer. If the wire harness is intact, then you may need to check the timer, part number PS11749833, to solve the problem. We hope this helps.
