My 4 yr old roper dryer takes almost double the amount of time to dry now. My maintenance man looked at it for me (used his tester) and told me that it needs a new timer. Is there a chance that he could be wrong then I would have to invest more money into another part. Any thoughts? Thanks (Serial #mu1057074)

Here are your parts Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL RED4440SQ0 29"electric Dryer | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is the wiring diagram http://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Wiring%20Sheet%20-%208528190.pdfI am assuming this also happens when you run the unit in timed dry mode. The most common cause of this is a dirty/malfunctioning vent system. Undo the dryer from the exhaust Run a load If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem. Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully. If you do not want lint in the house. Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust. Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock. Run a load. Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp. Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems |
