Dryer Timer Specifications
Part number WP3406725, the dryer timer, is a critical component responsible for managing the timing and electrical functions in dryers. This part is compatible with brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances.
Should the timer advance properly during the timed dry cycle but fail in the automatic moisture sensing cycle, the moisture sensing control board may be the culprit. If replacing the control board does not resolve the issue, consider substituting the dryer timer with part WP3406725.
Prior to installing a new timer, ensure the dryer is unplugged, and the use of gloves is recommended for safety.
