XPARTCO WE04X20415 Dryer Timer
The XPARTCO WE04X20415 is an aftermarket replacement electromechanical timer for GE electric and gas dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. This timer manages the duration of the drying cycle, running the dryer for the correct amount of time based on your selected setting and automatically shutting the machine off once the cycle is complete — that automatic shutoff is what prevents over-drying, which can damage fabrics and waste energy.
Rated with manufacturer designation 212D1233P005, measuring approximately 2-1/8"H x 3"W x 4-1/4"D. Over time, the timer's internal mechanical components can wear out, be damaged by power surges, or simply age past their reliable service life. A failing timer typically shows up as the dryer not shutting off at the end of a cycle, not running for the correct length of time, or the control knob feeling loose or failing to turn the mechanism properly. It directly replaces AP5805477, WE4M357, 3276788, PS9491767, WE04X20415-20PK, and WE4M355.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Transfer Wires One At A Time Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the screws from the back panel and set the panel aside. Remove the control knob from the front panel. Pull the old timer out and photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Transfer each wire one at a time from the old timer to the new WE04X20415, matching each connection exactly as photographed — moving them one at a time rather than all at once helps avoid mixing up positions. Secure the new timer in its mounting position, reconnect the knob to the front panel, and reattach the back panel. Restore power and test the timer by setting it for a few minutes and starting a cycle to confirm the dryer runs for the correct duration and shuts off with the buzzer at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't shut off at the end of the cycle. Is this the timer?
Yes, this is one of the most direct symptoms of a failing timer. The timer is responsible for automatically shutting the dryer off once the selected cycle duration is complete, so if that mechanism has worn out or jammed, the dryer can continue running well past when it should have stopped.
My control knob feels loose and won't turn the timer properly. Is that this same part?
It could be related. One customer found the knob stem had worn smooth and would no longer turn the timer mechanism at all — in that case, replacing the timer resolves the issue since the knob attaches directly to the timer's internal shaft.
Is this a hard repair to do myself?
No, several customers describe this as a straightforward repair. One account details removing the back panel screws, disconnecting the dryer, removing the front knob, photographing the wiring, and transferring each wire one at a time to the new timer — the whole process, including testing, took well under an hour, and even helped one customer celebrate an 80th birthday with a successful father-son repair.
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 timing mechanism, terminal layout, and dimensions of the original WE04X20415 timer used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers.

WE04X36457 Genuine OEM GE Dryer Timer
The WE04X36457 is a genuine GE OEM electromechanical timer for GE electric and gas dryers. This timer is the sequencing control behind the dryer's operating cycle, using an internal motor-driven mechanism to advance the dryer through each stage — tumbling, heating, and cool-down — at the correct intervals for the selected cycle length.
Over time, the timer's internal gears or contacts can wear out or jam. A failing timer produces a range of symptoms depending on which function is affected: the dryer may not advance through the cycle, may not shut off when it should, may not start at all, or may run with no heat if the timer's contacts controlling the heat circuit are affected. This part carries the updated designation EAPX36457X1, which fits both old and new production serials. It directly replaces CKDX36457X, TMD1EM32, 234D2377P006, AP7243859, PS17873930, FIX17873930, E190094, 250426, and 19-50425501.
Quick Answer
The WE04X36457 Genuine OEM GE Dryer Timer fixes GE electric and gas dryers that won't advance through the cycle, won't shut off, won't start, or run with no heat.

GE uses many similarly-numbered WE04X-prefix timers across different dryer models — always confirm your exact part number or model before ordering, since these timers are not interchangeable across models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Timer won't advance — dryer stays stuck at one point in the cycle
Dryer won't shut off, keeps running after the cycle should have ended
Dryer won't start at all
Dryer runs with no heat or insufficient heat
Unusual noise from the timer area during operation

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access the timer through the control console or back panel depending on your model. Photograph each wire's terminal position before disconnecting anything, since a dryer timer typically has multiple wires and mixing them up can cause a malfunction after reinstallation. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old timer, then disconnect its wiring. Install the new WE04X36457 in the same position, reconnecting each wire to its original terminal exactly as photographed. Secure the timer in its mounting position and reassemble the console or panel. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm the dryer advances properly through tumbling, heating, and shutoff at the correct times. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't shut off and keeps running. Is this the timer?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom of a failing timer. If the internal gear motor or contacts jam, the timer can fail to advance to the "off" position at the end of the cycle, leaving the dryer running continuously past when it should have stopped.
My old part number doesn't say WE04X36457. Is this still the right timer?
If your old timer's part number is CKDX36457X, TMD1EM32, or 234D2377P006, or one of the other numbers listed in our cross-reference section, yes — this WE04X36457 timer, also designated EAPX36457X1, is the current replacement and fits both older and newer production serials.
There are so many similar-looking GE timer part numbers. How do I make sure I order the right one?
GE has released many timers with very similar WE04X-prefix numbers for different dryer models, and they are not interchangeable despite the resemblance. The safest approach is to match your dryer's full model number against this listing's compatibility, or check the exact part number printed on your old timer, rather than relying on how similar the numbers look.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original timing mechanism and terminal layout of the timer designed for your dryer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect The Plastic Shaft For Wear Unplug your dryer and shut off the power source before beginning. 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. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs continuously and won't advance through the cycle. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing timer. If the internal mechanism has worn out or jammed, the timer can fail to advance through the cycle stages correctly, leaving the dryer running past when it should stop or stall partway through.
The timer knob is hard to turn. Will this new timer fix that?
It should help, but check the condition of the plastic shaft as well. One customer replaced this timer after being unable to turn the switch freely, which was affecting their clothes drying properly — the new timer worked well, but they specifically recommended also picking up the matching replacement knob, since a worn shaft or knob can still cause turning difficulty even with a new timer installed.
Is this the same as your WE04X20415 listing?
No, these are separate GE timer part numbers used on different dryer models, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm your exact part number from your dryer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old timer before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original timing mechanism, plastic shaft, and terminal layout of the timer originally installed in your dryer.

Genuine OEM WPW10185972 Dryer Timer
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WPW10185972 is the dryer timer, the electromechanical control that advances through your dryer's preset cycles. Its internal contacts open and close the circuits that control heat and the drum motor, so the dryer runs for the right amount of time at the right setting. When the timer fails, the dryer may not start, may not advance through the cycle, or may over-dry or under-dry your clothes.
This is the original Whirlpool part, also sold under the older number W10185972. It is listed for Whirlpool-built electric dryers sold as Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Admiral, Roper, Inglis, and Crosley. Check the part number before ordering, because a similar timer, WPW10185971, is listed for different models.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WPW10185972 Dryer Timer fixes a Whirlpool-built electric dryer that won't start, won't advance through its cycle, or over-dries or under-dries because the timer has failed.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning, and wear work gloves. Remove the control panel as shown in your model's service guide to reach the timer. Before disconnecting anything, photograph the wire connections or note the position of each wire, since the timer has many terminals. Move the wires one at a time to the new timer, mount it, replace the knob, and restore power. Test each cycle selection before closing the dryer.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start. Is this the part I need?
A failed timer is a common cause, especially if the dial turns but the dryer doesn't run or doesn't engage every cycle selection. The door switch, start switch, and thermal fuse can cause the same symptom, so check those first.
Is WPW10185972 the same as W10185972?
Yes. W10185972 is the older Whirlpool number for the same timer, and this part covers both numbers.
Can I use WPW10185971 instead?
No, don't assume so. WPW10185971 is a separate timer listed for different models. Use the number your model calls out, or contact our support team to confirm before ordering.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool-built electric dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

XPARTCO W10185976 Dryer Timer Replaces WPW10185976
The XPARTCO W10185976 is an aftermarket replacement electromechanical timer for Whirlpool electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper models. This timer is the sequencing brain behind the dryer's operating cycle: an internal gear motor slowly rotates cams that activate each stage of the cycle — tumbling, heating, and cool-down — at the correct intervals, for a maximum runtime of up to 60 minutes.
Beyond simple sequencing, this timer also serves a safety function: its built-in maximum runtime is what prevents the dryer from running indefinitely if something else in the system malfunctions, helping guard against overheating hazards. If the timer's internal gears or contacts jam or wear out, that safety limit can be compromised, which is one reason prompt replacement matters once a fault appears. Symptoms of a failing timer include the dryer not advancing through its cycle, running continuously without shutting off, unusual noises during operation, the dryer not starting at all, or no heat or insufficient heat. It directly replaces WPW10185976, 1481703, W10185976, WPW10185976VP, 418-616-20-B5, AP6016539, AWP49433, EAP11749829, PD00004619, PS11749829

Electromechanical timer, 7-1/4" male terminals marked A, B, C, H, X, T, F.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Mark Each Wire's Terminal Before Disconnecting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the dryer using a 5/16" socket set. Locate the timer, typically mounted behind the control console or back panel depending on your model. Before disconnecting anything, mark or photograph each wire's terminal position — the terminals are labeled (A, B, C, H, X, T, F), but with several wires clustered together, it's easy to mix them up during reinstallation. Remove the old timer using the 5/16" socket set. Plug each wire from the harness into the corresponding terminal on the new W10185976, matching your reference marks or photo exactly. Reinstall the timer in its mounting position, then reattach the back panel. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm the dryer advances properly through tumbling, heating, and shutoff at the correct times. Tools needed: 5/16" socket set, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't shut off and keeps running. Is this the timer?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom of a failing timer. If the internal gear motor or contacts jam, the timer can fail to advance to the "off" position at the end of the cycle, leaving the dryer running continuously. Since the timer's maximum runtime is also part of the dryer's overheat protection, a jammed timer is worth addressing promptly rather than letting the dryer keep running unattended.
How do I avoid mixing up the wires during installation?
Before disconnecting the old timer, take a clear photo of the wiring, or mark each wire with tape and a label matching its terminal letter. One customer specifically noted this step made the swap "very easy to see where they go" — the terminals themselves are labeled A, B, C, H, X, T, F, so matching your reference to those labels on the new timer keeps the process straightforward.
My dryer has no heat. Could that really be the timer instead of the heating element?
Yes, it's possible. The timer's internal contacts help control the heat circuit alongside the dryer motor and timer motor, so a fault in those contacts can result in no heat or insufficient heat even if the heating element itself is fully functional. If you've already ruled out the thermal fuse and heating element, the timer is a reasonable next component to check.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the terminal layout, gear motor mechanism, and maximum runtime rating of the original WPW10185976 timer used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related electric dryers.

XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob
The XPARTCO WE1M652 is an aftermarket replacement timer control knob for GE dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. This knob mounts onto the timer's D-shaped shaft and is what you turn to select and adjust the dryer's cycle setting — it's the direct physical interface between you and the timer mechanism inside the control panel.
Finished in white, this knob measures 3" in diameter and accepts a D-shaped shaft. Over time, the knob can crack, break, or simply be lost, or the shaft opening can wear enough that the knob spins freely without actually turning the timer setting. A worn or damaged knob typically shows up as a cracked or broken knob, a knob that won't stay seated on the shaft, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or cycle markings that have become worn and unreadable. It directly replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers with a cracked, broken, or missing timer knob, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or worn cycle markings. White, 3" diameter, D-shaped shaft. Replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196. Not the same as the similarly-numbered WE1M654 — using the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing even though it may physically fit.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — The Fit Can Be Snug Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft — no tools are typically required, though some customers have found the fit quite snug and needed a firm, steady pull with some leverage to remove the old knob or seat the new one fully. Align the D-shaped socket on the new WE1M652 with the flat side of the timer shaft, then press the new knob firmly onto the shaft until it's fully seated. Restore power and test that the knob turns the timer setting correctly through its full range, confirming the dryer starts and progresses through the cycle as expected. Tools needed: none typically required.
Frequently Asked Questions
My old knob cracked and I replaced it with a similar-looking one, but now my drying time seems off. What happened?
This is a documented issue when the wrong knob is installed. GE's own support has confirmed that a similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, is not correct for all models and, if installed on the wrong dryer, causes the cycle to cut off before reaching the true "off" position, throwing off drying time even though the knob may physically fit onto the shaft. If your timing seems off after a knob replacement, double-check that WE1M652 (not WE1M654) is the correct part for your specific model.
My knob spins freely without changing the cycle. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms this knob resolves. If the knob's D-shaped socket has worn out or become stripped, it can no longer grip the timer's shaft properly, letting the knob spin without actually turning the internal timer mechanism.
Is this hard to install?
No, it's one of the simplest dryer repairs — the old knob pulls straight off the shaft and the new one presses straight on, with no tools needed. Some customers have noted the fit is quite snug and takes a bit of extra force to fully seat, but no special skills or hardware are required.
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 size, D-shaped shaft fit, and white finish of the original WE1M652 timer knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers.

I was told my knob replacement threw off my drying time. Is WE01X20374 the fix?
It can be, depending on your model. GE's own support has addressed a case where a similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, was installed on the wrong model and caused the cycle to cut off before reaching the true "off" position — the customer was told the correct part for their model was WE01X20374. If your timing seems off after installing a different knob, double-check whether WE01X20374 is the correct part for your specific model.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, it's one of the simplest dryer repairs — the old knob pulls straight off the shaft and the new one presses straight on, with no tools needed.
