The Whirlpool dryer timer is an OEM replacement part responsible for controlling the duration and sequence of the drying cycle. The timer is located on the control panel of the appliance and features various settings and options that allow users to select the desired drying time and cycle. The timer regulates the flow of electricity to different components of the dryer, such as the heating element, motor, and blower, based on the selected settings.

The Whirlpool dryer timer can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This part fixes the following symptoms

• Inaccurate or inconsistent timing of the drying cycle
• Dryer not advancing to the next cycle or stopping prematurely
• Timer knob or dial not turning or becoming stuck
• Timer not activating or responding when adjusted
• Dryer not starting or no power output from the timer

The Heating Element is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool brand dryers. It generates the heat needed to effectively dry clothes and linens during the drying cycle. The precise coil design allows it to heat the air inside the dryer to optimum temperatures.

Causes of a bad heating element can include normal wear and tear over time, mineral or lime buildup that impedes heat transfer, or physical damage to the coil or connecting wires.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:  

• The dryer takes a long time to dry clothes or does not dry them completely
• Slow or inaccurate temperature selection
• Noticeable decrease in air heat output
• Tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse after drying

Note: has 2-5/16" male terminals.

Replacing the part with this genuine Whirlpool OEM heating element helps restore reliable and efficient drying performance. It is also compatible with brands such as Amana, Maytag, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid.
