Dryer Timer

Unplugged the dryer.Move the dryer out so I could get to the back. Used a screwdriver to remove the top metal plate that was covering the area where the timer is located. Unplugged the clips holding in the timer. Plugged the new timer in to the clips. Plugged the dyer in to see that it worked. Replaced the metal cover. And moved the dryer back into place. I am.a 60 yr. old woman and it was easy breezy to do.

originally the know broke, then we used pliers to twist the timer until it broke. Fix was simple, removed 2 screws, tilted the control face forward, removed the old timer, pulled off the wires and replaced in exact position on new timer switch, replaced new timer, put back in the screws and put on the new knob. Like new.

Removed front and rear panel, and installed new timer. Received part in 2 days and dryer works fine. Easy job, anyone can do.

My boyfriend is blind and he put the part in very easily only took 10 minutes! He did it by hisself!

Replaced timer - pulled off plastic timer knob, removed panel from back top of dryer, turned timer assembly to detach it from clips, used a screwdriver to remove electrical connectors, installed electrical connectors on new switch, twisted timer back into place and reinstalled cover. I replaced the timer knob and it still rotated freely and dryer would not start. Upon further investigation, the plastic sleeve that went on the D-shaft was broken and was not engaging the D-shaft. I ordered a new knob and dryer worked fine. Broken know was likely the original problem and I didn't need to replace the timer.

Took a course long ago in refrigerators and major appliances. Common sense and experience.

Removed 6 screws from back panel, unplugged wires from timer{6 w wires} slipped timer from holding points and reversed removal procedure very easy.

With screw drivers removed top panel screws. Removed old timer from electric connections and inserted new. Reset top and replaced screws.

removed 3 screws from rear of access panel, turn old timer counter clockwise to remove, transfer 5 plugs from old to new timer, replace new timer and put 3 screws back in

I unscrewed the back of the top panel and raised up the front top panel. Took out the old timer and unhooked all the wires making note of where the colors were. Installed the wires on the new timer making sure to put right color wires on the right letters. Set the timer in the slots made for it and turned clockwise. Screwed the back panel back on and put the front panel back into the slots. Put the new knob on the new timer thing sticking out. Works great, like it did before we broke the knob and thing coming out of the timer. It is a shame you have to replace the whole timer when you only break the part that the knob goes on but that was the only way I could see to fix it right. I am in no way an expert and this turned out to be pretty easy. I may not have the used the right terms for the different parts of the dryer either but hopefully you can understand what I meant. If I can do this anybody can. I am a female with no appliance repair experience. The only thing that might have helped me though is the fact that I am the daughter of a long time appliance repairman. Maybe I picked up a little knowledge from my Daddy. Thanks Daddy and rest in peace! The most important thing to remember is to unplug the appliance before you work on it. Watch videos and read up on it to help you before you start if you are new at this. I am glad I was able to fix this but I also think if they had made a better quality knob and the part that the knob goes on in the first place I wouldn't of had to replace this so soon after purchase. Remember to only turn timer knob clockwise and if the knob breaks, get a new one and don't use pliers to try and turn the timer because it will completely break off and then you have to buy a whole new timer. I know I rambled on but I wanted to try and help other females out there who have no clue about appliances like me.
