Jeff February 20, 2014 for Model Number wed5800sw0 My dryer wont turn on. The starter switch clicks and the timer ticks until you open the door then it stops. If you close the door it will start ticking again. It did work for a short if you played with the timer now it wont turn at all any ideas?
1 Answer Jeff, If playing with the timer would allow the dryer to turn on and now the unit is not running at all then the issue would be caused by a faulty timer. Read More...

Don Z. December 20, 2013 for Model Number Wgd5850swd My dryer does not start. Start switch makes noise (click) when pushed. Timer ticks when set. Door switch appears to work (stops timer when door is opened). I replaced thermal fuse by blower with no effect/change. Dryer just does not start.
1 Answer Hello Don, If you try to spin the dryer drum by hand while holding the door switch in and the start button is pressed and it starts, you have a bad start winding in the motor. If it does not start, the issue is likely to be in the door switch or harness. Read More...
Rhonda December 12, 2013 for Model Number LGQ8858JT1 part # 3406725 The shaft broke off with the timer control knob. Is there a way to manipulate it so it will work? It was working until it snapped off flush with the knob.
1 Answer Rhonda, if the shaft of the timer broke the timer will need to be replaced. The part number is WP3406725. If the knob is also needed order part number WP3957755. Thanks! Read More...
Dan September 17, 2013 for Model Number LGN2000PWO MY DRYER WORKS BUT DOES NOT SHUT OFF IS THIS THE TIMER THANKS FOR THE HELP
1 Answer Dan, If the timer advances and shuts off in the timed dry cycle, then the timer is not the issue, and you'll need to inspect the electronic control board WPW10476828 for damage and shorts. If the timer doesn't advance to off in any cycle, then replace the timer. Read More...

Dods2403 March 28, 2013 for Model Number lgn2000pw1 When the timer is turned to any other mode, other than off, the timer makes a "ticking" sound almost like an old timer that actually counts down the the time. The dryer will start and run normal but this "ticking" noise is driving us nuts. It seems that when the dryer is running, it is almost unoticeable but if the dryer is not on, and the timer is turned to anythign other than "off", the timer is very noisy. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello dods2403. It is not uncommon for the timers to become noisy on units. If the noise is bothering you then you will need to order and replace the timer on the unit. Read More...
Rasool March 08, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool Mod: GEQ9800PW! My dryer is not running. I checked Push to start Switch it's Ok, but when I turn on the Timer it makes a noise tik tik but motor does not run. some times when I turn the timer round and round motor starts by itself, only 2 out of the 10 times it happened. Do you think I have to replace the Timer or not. Thanks
1 Answer Rasool, Your first check needs to be at the thermal fuse, located on the blower housing WP3392519 it's a more likely issue. Read More...
John December 13, 2012 for Model Number GGQ9800PW1 My gas dryer will not turn on in any cycle. I tested the thermal fuse, door switch and the start button---all appear to be good---0 or very low ohms reading. I test the timer with the dryer unpluged and in a cycle between the BU and BK terminals and was good=0 and the Tan and White terminals = infinity. The one video I saw said that was then the reason and to replace the timer. Do you agree?
1 Answer Hello John, You may want to do a continuity check on the thermal. The thermal would be the most likely part to fail and cause complete unit to not run. The T to W terminal is your motor circuit and would be open if the unit is not in operation. When you check the thermal fuse if you are using a digital ohm meter set it for audible tone. If you get audible then it is good, no audible it is bad. Read More...
