Whirlpool Timer Assembly WP3976575 OEM Part

The Dryer Timer Assembly, optimized for 60 Hz functionality, manages key operations within dryers. Whirlpool manufactures several well-known brands, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce appliances for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

For electric dryers, if the timer progresses during the timed dry setting but stalls in the automatic moisture sensing mode, unplug the dryer and examine the resistor with a multimeter to check for continuity. The resistor is connected to the timer using an orange wire. Should the multimeter show infinite resistance, it is necessary to replace the resistor with the substitute part number 279872. If, after this replacement, the timer still does not advance during the moisture sensing cycle, the next step is to replace the timer with part number WP3976575.

Designed specifically for dryers, the timer WP3976575 regulates electrical functions and cycle durations. It is interchangeable with part number AP6009024 and supersedes earlier parts with numbers 3976575, 3406014, 548374, and PS11742166.
