Dryer timer will not advance in either auto or time dry position. Dryer does heat and dries loads but will not shut off. I assume the problem is a bad timer? Your thoughts. Thank you

Note the last digit in your Model Number is a zero not an O Here are your parts Model LER7646JQ0Here is the tech sheet https://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%203406692.pdfIf everything else run OK but the timer does not advance, odds are high thet the timer is shot. To check put the unit in timed dry and measure for 120 volts across the motor. If it is there and the timer does not advance then the timer is shot for sure. |

yes, this is worth repairing, and your blower whell is an easy replacement. pop the top up, and then take the front off, and then take the blower cover off, and you are there. part # is 31001317. tom [url=]applianceeducator.com - parts[/url]

I haven't taken the control panel off yet but it appears to be only a few screws holding on the end caps. Regarding the VOM test I have a few questions: 1. I assume I check the voltage at the timer? 2. I appreicate the chart but I'm a little lost with colors and flow. I would appreciate you letting me know color of wires and terminals at the timer where I should check for 120 volts. I know there is 220 volts to the dryer and I don't want to make a mistake. Ouch! 3. Is there 120 volts at the timer with the dryer on, off, or both? If all tests point to the timer I'll submit an order. Thanks again

Take a look in the parts timer Item 21 Section 2, you will see the two wires coming out of the timer motor and going to the timer cam/contacts. This is where you want to measure across these two.
Looking at the wiring diagram timer motor should have power when timer set in middle of timed dry and the door is closed. At least that is the way it looks to me. If not give it a try with unit running. |
