Part Number: AP2974634 Manufacturer's Number: 3398094

Part Number: AP2974634 Manufacturer's Number: 3398094 I will probably give that a shot. I just got a quote to have the dryer looked at, $70 just to show up, even though i've already done half the troubleshooting.

Open the control panel and check for continuity between the BK & BK-BU and the T & W timer terminals while the timer is in any "on" position. If there is no continuity then the timer is the culprit. - The timer Part number: AP2947073 Gene.

Shorted the T&W terminals and I heard that sound that I missed for so long - the motor kicking on. Timer is an expensive part though :( but it beats going to the laundromat all the time!

I have an additional whirlpool dryer and the timer seems to be rotating but it still wont start.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LEQ9508PW1 | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

It'd be nice if they offered a pack of all the screws.. instead of $2 a screw. I appreciate the help and knowledge available on this forum. The timer was the only thing I wasn't sure how to test.
