Whirlpool dryer timer not working properly.

We ordered the new timer from APP.com for our 35-year-old Whirlpool dryer. The control timer was not working properly, shutting off during a cycle, not starting, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Parts Pros had the correct part in stock, shipped it quickly and we received it a couple of days later. It was an original factory part and an exact match. The video you provided was simple, clear, and easy to follow. 8 screws and 20 minutes later, the new timer is in place and the dryer is working perfectly. Thank you AppliancePartsPros for helping us save $250 by not having to phone a service technician. I will always make you our first stop for any appliance parts we need in the future.

Dryer would not turn on

After reading other customer's problems I determined that the Timer was not working. I replaced the Timer and the dryer works great.

Would keep shutting off and would not cycle

I focused on what it was Not doing. Attention was given to the dial as I was slowly turning it to determine what was going on. It was determined the dial was no good. I checked online a few video's that had the same problem and it was this part. Very simple repair...unplug machine from power, remove the screws (4) with a 1/4" driver (or any other means of a 1/4" tool), then pull off dial from the front followed with removing the (2) 1/4" screws holding in place the dial from the back side. I removed one wire at a time and matched it against the new part. Put everything back in reverse order and then plugged machine back in outlet. Tested as needed. Wife is happy!

Dryer would not run

I bought a timer after reviewing online troubleshooting guide provided on website to determine the problem. Part arrived in 2 days after placing order and that was with standard shipping. I watched the timer install video which was very helpful and total install took about 15 minutes.

I had to hold the timer knob to get the dryer to work.

I thought it was a worn out timer. Timers are one of the things that are first to go. My dryer is over 10 years old. I called you folks, described the problem and the tech concurred it was the timer. I ordered one. It sorta worked. I looked inside the plastic knob. There is a metal sleeve inside it. I noticed that the plastic part that goes around the timer shaft was broken. Thus when I turn the knob the shaft does not always turn with it. I ordered a new knob. Put it on and now all is working fine. Maybe the old timer is still good and the broke knob was the only problem. My dryer is in a hard to get to place. I don't feel like pulling it out and dismantling it again. It works great now. I'll save the timer and maybe I'll test it in the future to see if it is OK. Hindsight is 20 20.

Clothes dryer wasn t heating

Preface: I have never done anything like this before. My ten year old Whirlpool dryer (electric) ran perfectly except that it suddenly stopped heating. I went on youtube and your website, watched a few videos and thought to myself "I can probably do this." I ordered a thermal fuse via your instant chat feature which proved to be a mistake. As soon as it arrived I knew it didn't look like the part I needed so I called AppliancePartsPros.com and learned that the part I needed was actually called a thermal cut-off. It arrived in a couple of days and was installed in about ten minutes. I am happy to report that with your help the dryer in running like new. Thank you.

Dryer quit drying

As on previous occasions, got online with Appliance Parts Pro and easily & quickly learned how to determine the problem, find the parts needed, how to remove the failed part and how to install its replacement. Hard to believe how convenient and efficient this company is.

No heat

I bought those parts tuesday they were here thursday morning had my dryer working great by noon thursday.

Whirlpool dryer wouldn't heat

I found your website with complete detailed instructions for troubleshooting the dryer. After I identified the problem, I was able to watch the video showing the repair and then order the part. Easy as pie, and I knew nothing about dryers. Your website saved me a bundle on technician labor fees.

This thermal cut-off kit is an authentic OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating.

Made of metal. Both components are mounted on the heater housing. They measure approximately 2 inches long and 1.5 inches wide each. If the thermal cut-off fuse has gone out, the dryer will not function but replacing it using the components in this kit is simple.

This Kit Includes:

High Limit Thermostat (250°F Limit)
A Cut Off Fuse (309°F Limit)
Female Spade Terminals
Jumper Wires

It is important to note that a plugged lint screen, something stuck in the exhaust vent, or a broken blower wheel can cause the thermal cut-off to fail or become damaged.

Hi-Limit Thermostat

My dryer was blowing cool air and not hot to dry my clothes

I went online and saw a video from AppliancePartsPros.com. The gentlemen showed me exactly what I needed to fix my dryer and exactly how to repair it. His directions were so easy to follow. I ordered the parts from AppliancePartsPros website and installed them and my dryer is working better than before. I only spent $91.00 to repair instead of purchasing a new dryer for $699.00. Thank you so much for saving me over $600.00.

Dryer not heating up.

After finding out vent was plugged. Cleaned vent & still no heat, I replaced the hi-limit thermostat because the heating element would come on for a few seconds & shut off not geting up to temp to dry. Seems okay now.

Dryer overheating

Learned it was the Hi-limit thermostat and order one. Absolutely no sweat taking the old one out and putting the new one in. Watch their videos. Nothing to it.

The dryer would not heat.

After watching a video on Youtube, I used a multimeter to test continuity in each of the thermostats. The hi-limit thermostat failed. I ordered the part late one evening with overnight shipping. The part shipped the next day and arrived on time. It took just a few minutes to install the part and start drying clothes again. AppliancePartsPros.com is an EXCELLENT source for parts!

Dyer works but not heating.

Troubleshooting resulted in one of the thermostat ( the high limit) being open. Priced the item at local sources, and the prices were all at least double that of Applianceparts.com Ordered the part, it arrived a couple of day before the scheduled date. Tested the part before installation. Now the machine works as it should. Thanks for being available to assist and especially with lower prices.
