The best channel I found that says how to replace a Whirlpool timer and then the guy actually shows you how to replace the Whirlpool timer.

Always worth taking a couple of pictures or sketching the location of each wire before removing so one can replace like for like rather than relying on the replacement part to have easy to read colour codes.

Thanks very much! The added comment to take a photo of each angle of the plugs gave me added confidence.

Our entire timer became dislodged. It still works, it's just not connected from behind. This video was very helpful.

I have an M460-G timer and the voltages going in and out are 120v.... except spade V. It measures 10v. Is this correct?

@sully47 Год назад

Is there a way to fix the stem on the timer where the knob connects to?

@gameaccount7142 3 года назад

I have a thin twin whirlpool dryer and wash and the dryer timer turns and still ends when I physically move it to end but when I start I wont move by it self.while moving I can hear like clicks on some parts

@gameaccount7142 3 года назад

@@rojahrojah I think so I just reversed it like a 3 whole times and it worked again

@MrMysticSeer 3 года назад

@@gameaccount7142 That helped me so much. I put my ohmmeter on terminals 1&3 and wiggling the timer back and forth made the connection for the heat. I knew it was the timer. I had checked out the heating coil and the 3 fuses/thermostats and they were ok. I got it working enough for tonight and will order a new timer. Thanks!!!

My timer heats but it won't count down to off

@davidbelitz7692 Год назад

You should be reattaching wires to new one each time you remove one, else an amateur may not remember where they go. Or take a photo of the old one still attached.

@1owellete1 Год назад

Thank you for your easy to follow instructions! But, I’d rather let a professional do it to be certain that is the problem! My Gratitude!😊

We bought the part and I installed it just like this and it still doesn't want to start. Starting to think the professional that came and gave the diagnostic was wrong.

@FixDotCom 2 года назад

Sorry to hear your still having troubles, One thing to check is manually turn the drum with the door open and see if it turns freely, if it does the belt maybe broken and many dryers have a belt break switch, the door switch will also prevent a dryer from starting. I expect you have already checked your fuses and or breakers so your getting proper power to the dryer. There is also a thermal fuse that if the vent get plugged will open the motor circuit as a safety precaution. It does not reset so once its tripped it has to be replaced, be sure to check your vent for good airflow once you get the dryer running again.

@Allie244 2 года назад

@@FixDotCom Thanks so much for the reply! The belt is broken (the drum doesn't make a full turn) and when we opened up the back the rollers were messed up as well. I appreciate the response, it really helps ^^
