XPARTCO WE04X25280 Dryer Timer
The XPARTCO WE04X25280 is an aftermarket replacement timer for GE and Hotpoint electric dryers. This timer controls the duration and sequence of the drying cycle — it's what tells the dryer how long to run on the cycle you've selected and automatically shuts the dryer off once that cycle is complete. Every timed portion of your dryer's operation, from a quick touch-up cycle to a full heavy-duty load, runs through this component.
Measuring approximately 3.00"H x 3.00"W x 4.25"L, with a metal and plastic housing. Over time, the internal contacts and motor-driven mechanism inside the timer can wear out or fail electrically. A malfunctioning timer produces two opposite but equally telling symptoms: the dryer can stop prematurely before clothes are actually dry, wasting a cycle and leaving damp laundry, or it can continue running well past when it should have shut off, wasting energy and potentially damaging fabrics from excess heat exposure. It directly replaces TMD1EM35, 234D2377P005, AP6032628, 4467035, PS11763067, EAP11763067, and WE04X25280-24PK.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE04X25280 Dryer Timer fixes GE and Hotpoint electric dryers that stop prematurely mid-cycle, won't advance through the cycle, or keep running well past when they should shut off. Approximately 3.00"H x 3.00"W x 4.25"L. Replaces TMD1EM35, 234D2377P005, AP6032628, 4467035, PS11763067, EAP11763067, WE04X25280-24PK. If your cycle selector knob feels loose or cracked, check it closely — a cracked knob is a separate part from the timer and is easy to overlook when diagnosing a "timer" problem.

- Dryer continues running well past the selected cycle time

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the dryer's top pan or console access panel, depending on your model, to reach the timer behind the control panel. Photograph the wiring harness connections before disconnecting anything, since the timer typically has multiple wires that must be reconnected in their original positions. Pull off the timer control knob, remove the mounting screws or clips securing the timer, and disconnect the wiring harness from the old timer. Connect the wiring harness to the new WE04X25280 timer, matching each wire to its original position, then secure the new timer in place with the mounting screws or clips. While the dryer is open, it's worth checking the control knob for cracks or looseness, and vacuuming out any accumulated lint and debris from inside the console area. Reinstall the top pan or access panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer advances through the cycle normally and shuts off automatically when it should. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer stops in the middle of a cycle. Is this the timer?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the dryer stops at random or inconsistent points rather than always the same spot. A failing timer can lose the ability to properly progress through the sequence of a cycle, causing it to stall out before completing. If your dryer also won't advance when you manually turn the timer knob, that further points to the timer itself.
My dryer keeps running well past when it should shut off. Could that also be the timer?
Yes — this is essentially the opposite symptom from premature shutoff, but it comes from the same root cause. If the timer's internal mechanism fails to advance the cycle to its "off" position, the dryer can continue running indefinitely on a timed cycle instead of stopping when it should, which wastes energy and risks overheating your laundry.
Should I check the control knob while I'm replacing the timer?
Yes, it's worth a quick look. Timer and knob problems can look similar from the outside, and one repair account found the plastic selector knob cracked internally at the same time as a failed timer. Since you'll already have the console open, checking the knob for cracks or looseness — and vacuuming out any built-up lint while you're in there — is a good use of the same repair trip.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, wiring configuration, and cycle-control function of the original WE04X25280 timer used in compatible GE and Hotpoint dryers.
