WPW10185976 - Whirlpool Dryer Timer

This Whirlpool Dryer Timer (WPW10185976) is a genuine part designed specifically for Whirlpool dryers. Electromechanical timers are critical in sequencing dryer operating modes and limiting run durations for safety purposes. By rotating gear motors, they advance cams to activate cycle steps such as tumbling and heating at the proper intervals up to 60 minutes, ensuring maximum runtimes prevent overheating hazards from malfunctions. If your appliance's timer jams, it may run continuously, signifying the need for a replacement to maintain safe drying programs. Symptoms that your dryer timer may be failing include unusual noises during cycles, the dryer not advancing through its cycle, or the dryer running continuously without shutting off. Before making your purchase, check your device's model number for compatibility to avoid any mismatches with this essential part.
