Wear work gloves. Remove the cabinet by removing the screws from the back of the unit. Locate the control timer at the back side of the top panel. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect all of the wiring harnesses connected to the old timer. Remove the timer from the top panel by unscrewing its mounting screws. Inspect the plastic shaft for wear or damage before installing the new timer, since a worn shaft can affect how freely the knob turns even after the internal timer mechanism is replaced. Install the new WE04X20416, reconnecting all wiring harnesses fully and making sure every connection is tight and secure before closing the cabinet. Reassemble the cabinet and secure its screws. Restore power and run a short test cycle to confirm the dryer starts, runs, and stops correctly.
