This is a genuinely sourced dryer timer, sold individually. It keeps track of the desired time, making sure the dryer turns on and off at the proper time in that cycle. Some indications that it is time to replace the dryer timer are if the timer will not start or stop, it is not ticking down during the cycle, or it shuts off in the middle of a cycle. For this repair, started by disconnecting the power. Remove the timer knob and control panel. Lift the plastic tab on the old timer and rotate it counter-clockwise, leaving the wires connected. This will give you a reference when it comes time to connect the wires in the new timer (you could also snap a photo). To install the new timer, rotate it clockwise until it locks into place. Transfer the wires from the old timer to the new one, matching each connection. Reassemble the dryer, and you are all done with your repair.
