WE4X791 - GE Dryer Timer

This GE Dryer Timer (WE4X791) is a genuine part designed for GE dryers, ensuring compatibility and seamless operation. It's an electromechanical timer that plays a crucial role in sequencing dryer operating modes and determining the duration of safety limits for each cycle. Its rotating gear motors advance cams, activating cycle steps such as tumbling and heating at precise intervals for up to 60 minutes, which is crucial for preventing overheating by limiting maximum runtime. When timers get jammed, they may run continuously and will require replacement to ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently. Symptoms of a failing dryer timer include continuous operation without advancing through cycles or failure to start a cycle. Verify your dryer's model number for compatibility before purchasing this part.
