Whirlpool Timer WP3406723 OEM Part

Whirlpool, alongside its associated brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, produces a wide range of household appliances. Additionally, they manufacture items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. If you encounter an issue with an electric dryer's timer in a laundry center where it functions correctly during the timed dry cycle but not in the automatic moisture sensing mode, the first step is to disconnect the dryer from the power source. Next, utilizing a multimeter, examine the resistor linked to the timer via the orange wire. Should the multimeter display infinite resistance, the resistor needs replacement with part number 279872. If the problem continues even after this change, you may need to install a new timer, identified by part number WP3406723.

The dryer timer, coded as WP3406723, is specifically engineered for integration within laundry centers, controlling the electrical components and determining cycle durations.

During installation, make sure the dryer is unplugged. It is recommended to protect your hands by wearing work gloves.
