My dryer was purchased in 2004, so the timers are less readily available and more expensive. Still, a replacement part direct from Whirlpool would have cost me over $100 more than this part on Amazon. It arrived quickly, was an exact match for the old unit in my dryer, and was easy enough to install that I had the dryer back up and running in ten minutes. Very pleased with this purchase. While it's never fun to spend $140 on a part, I still spent way less on this repair than I would have replacing the dryer.Timer actually arrived earlier than It was supposed to. Was very easy to install and it works perfectly. It saved me about 500 dollars for a new dryer.We shopped around when we realized we needed this part to fix our Whirlpool. Shipped quickly and worked as expected!It worked and we didn’t have to buy a new dryer!! Yay!!Just like other people here, it wasn't heating on a setting and this was the problem. It also was ticking a little bit when it was "off", so that might be another symptom you may notice. It really is easy to install yourself and for $100-ish, you have your dryer back.My dryer stopes getting hot had 2 people look at it 1st said you need a new dryer 2nd said it could be 4 parts it took a week for him to elemante the Other parts so he calls me and says all parts are. So with the power of google I started looking and ran across with someone with the same problems TIMER. If your dryer is spinning NO heat even if the timer knob still moves & if you tested everything then you need a timer. Very easy to install 5mins. The part worked GREAT. Thanks owwwwwwwGreat quality. My dryer broke and wouldnt stop running. After doing the research, figured out what the issue was, and purchased this part. It was a direct fit. Dryer works fantastic after the repair.I installed this into my Estate brand dryer. It works great!
