Fixed both issues. Go to http://www.do-it-yourself-washing-machine-and-dryer-repair-help.com/ The videos were all the help and information I needed, no log-in is necessary, and it was super helpful to me, found everything I needed. Was hesitant to remove the drum to get to the igniter but the videos show everything and are well done.

Broken Pulley Idler and Timer.

Hello,

I just want to start by saying thanks to Partselect for having such a great website. The site is easy to navigate and with the explosion views allowed 'us novice' to select the right part the first time.

With post from previous DIY'ers, help make my repair very easy and simple. I had to replace the timer and the Pulley Idler. I first removed the top, leaving the timer panel connected by wires. I then removed the belt from the drum. That step was easy since the Pulley Idler was broke. I simply slid off the drum with ease. Once the belt was off I disassembled the front panel of the dryer. With the front panel off, I used a 3ft clamp to hold the drum in place while I unscrewed the three drum screws inside. I then pulled the drum out and set to the side. The tension pulley was simple to remove and reinstall. I reversed the steps above until the I got to the installation of the timer panel. With the new timer I put them side by side. I pulled one wire at a time and replaced to the new timer. Once all wires have been transferred, I then pulled the knob off the front. I used a small and medium flat head screwdriver, the small one to pry up the keeper flap and the medium to hold it. I was able to turn the timer and release it with ease. I then inserted the new timer and replaced the knob. I finished reinstalling the dryer and tested. Works great! This all took approximately an hour.

Timer would not regulate dryer time

  • Thomas from Staten Island, NY
  • Easy

  • Pliers, Screw drivers
I was able to take off the front top panel (4 star screws) folded top panel towards me. Marked all the wires to make it easier to remember where they go on new timer. (could have just removed and replaced on new timer as wires were long enough. Pushed old timer down onto panel with screw driver to loosen (this was hardest part) once I was able to loosen and remove the new timer was easy to replace and tighten. Put wires in place. Folding top panel back into place. Closed and tightened screws. Project done!!! Saved about $200.00... GO ME!!!

My dryer will not advance in perm press or gentle dry it will also only heat about half the degree it needs too. It will advance in the times dry portion and heat like normal. I’ve replaced motor on timer. What else could this be timer ? Does this model have a moisture sensor. I can’t find it in the parts diagram ? Thks
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Scott, Thank you for your question. If the dryer is only working on certain cycles, then the problem is the timer and it will need to be replaced. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

When we run the dryer it shuts off during the drying. I took of the timer knob and notice if I pull the plastic part that the knob connects to the dryer will run again and if I push that in it turns off. Any suggestions on what you think it might be?
Chris Boyle Profile

Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Jon, thank you for inquiring. From what you describe you will likely want to replace the Timer part PS11746606 for your model. You may also want to consider replacing the Timer Knob part PS11752708 and the Knob Spring Clip part PS11743754. We hope this helps.

I have replaced my timer because the drying cycle will not advance and the dryer does not shut off automatically. What else could be the problem?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Zane, thank you for contacting us. It looks like the timer resistor is faulty. The timer resistor, part number PS267964, controls the electrical current to the timer to help manage dry cycle timing. If you would like assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. Good luck with your repair!
