The Timer is an OEM part for GE dryers. It's a component that controls the duration of the drying cycles, ensuring clothes are dried efficiently and not overexposed to heat, which can cause damage. The timer regulates the start, duration, and end of each cycle, playing a pivotal role in the operation of the dryer.
Causes of a malfunctioning timer can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical failures that impede the timer's movement, and physical damage to the timer knob or internal components.
Symptoms of a bad Timer include:
- The dryer doesn't start or complete a cycle
- Cycles run longer or shorter than programmed
- The timer knob does not advance or is stuck
