Timer (120V/60hz) WP31001513

Ordered my part from partselect. Com (even easier than installation) unpluged the dryer,removed all knobs from face plate ,removed three phillips head screws across top ,removed two 5/16 head screws from timer( behind cycle knob) tilted back face plate unpluged one wire at atime from old timer placed back on new timer then reverced the process. Problem solved

removed screws (3) holding console face...then lowered console. removed timer dial knob accessing machine nuts (2) holding timer in place. removed timer and transferred all spade connections, wire-for-wire. removed old timer resistor assembly and replaced with new. reassembled everything and tested with one very wet old sock. success.!!!!

smiled and finished martini on the patio.

Part was perfect replacement thanks to online photos. Removed old timer switched leads one at a time from old to new timer and mounted new timer replaced back cover. Everything went fine.

It should have been easy but when some wires (3) came loose when I moved it to install it, I had a problem. The video that was run at a higher speed and too close up images you could not see which wire went where. Contacted Part Select and received no answer, so I tracked the wires down as much as I could on an old wiring diagram and hooked them up. I then connected the power, stood back and watched the switch smoke and blow circuits. No why to find the correct color wire to what part so I ended up having to buy a new dryer. Part Select has only sale people so don't expect help if something goes wrong. Good Luck

Unplug dryer as to avoid shocking yourself. Removed 3 screws on top of panel then remove cover then use nut driver to remove 2 screws from timer placed new timer next to old one and transferred wiring from old to new. Place new timer in place and mound with screws. Reinstall cover and 3 screws and you're done.

Process of elimination. Replaced heating element and high limit heat thermostat . Replaced door button switch and timer. Still not working. Replaced control thermostat, and still not working. Purchased ohm meter and checked thermal fuse that comes with high limit kit. Bad thermal fuse. Replaced thermal fuse that comes with kit. Dryer now has tub light and working fine. Learning to use an ohm meter really helps, and will save you a lot of frustration.
