Dryer Timer WP3979618 OEM Part

Dryer Timer, 60 Hz

The dryer timer plays a crucial role in managing the duration for which power is delivered to each cycle of your dryer. It proves essential when the dryer encounters issues such as not starting, failing to progress through cycles, or not shutting off.

This timer is compatible with a range of brands under Whirlpool, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces this component for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement, it offers reliable operation by orchestrating the proper sequence of cycle settings. The effectiveness of the drying process relies significantly on a properly functioning timer.

Failures often occur due to circuit wear, which can disrupt communication and over time result in electronic stress, ultimately causing cycle interruptions.

Signs of a malfunctioning timer may include:

- The dryer neither starts nor stops as expected.
- The dryer halts unexpectedly or does not transition to subsequent stages within the cycle.
- Issues with the control panel or frequent resets that diminish functionality.

This OEM timer can also be used with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore appliances.
