WP3976579 Whirlpool Dryer Timer

Dryer Timer Overview

The dryer timer is an essential component that manages most of the cycles in your dryer by controlling the duration that power is applied to each setting.

Whirlpool manufactures products under several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce appliances for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Notes: If your dryer timer progresses through the timed dry cycle but not the automatic moisture sensing cycle, the moisture sensing control board might be at fault. Should you replace this board and still experience issues with the timer not advancing in the moisture sensing cycle, consider replacing timer WP3976579.
