WE04X10042 - GE Dryer Timer

This GE Dryer Timer (WE04X10042) is a genuine part designed for GE dryers, ensuring compatibility with your appliance. Known for sequencing dryer operating modes and limiting run durations for safety, this timer employs rotating gear motors to advance cams. These cams, in turn, activate cycle steps such as tumbling and heating at the appropriate intervals, with maximum runtimes established to prevent overheating hazards that can arise from malfunctions. Notably, jammed timers, which run continuously, signify a need for replacement. A properly functioning timer is crucial for automatically scheduling safe drying programs for your appliance. If you notice your dryer running longer than expected, failing to advance through cycle steps, or not starting at all, it may indicate a malfunctioning timer, necessitating a replacement. Before purchasing, verify your dryer's model number to ensure this part is compatible.
