WE04X20415 - GE Dryer Timer

This GE Dryer Timer (WE04X20415) is an essential component from GE, designed specifically for GE dryers. It is a genuine part, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance with your appliance. The timer sequences dryer operating modes and limits run durations for safety, incorporating electromechanical technology. Rotating gear motors advance cams to activate cycle steps like tumbling and heating at the proper intervals, up to a maximum of 60 minutes, to prevent overheating hazards from malfunctions. When jammed, the timer may run continuously, signaling the need for a replacement. A functioning timer is vital, as it automatically schedules safe drying programs for your appliance.

Symptoms indicating the need for this timer include a dryer running non-stop or failing to advance through the programmed cycles, suggesting the timer is no longer properly regulating the duration of dryer cycles. Before purchasing, it's advisable to double-check the model number of your dryer to ensure this part is compatible.
