GE Appliances WE04X25280 Dryer Timer

This product is a quick plug and play once you remove the old part.My method was by carrying over 1 connection at a time.Took me about 15 minutes once I had the correct pin to remove my connections and worked instantly.Saved me $$$ on getting a technician.

We purchased this dryer timer for our GE clothes dryer to replace the second timer we had purchased for it. We fixed the issue ourselves and originally bought a timer from someone local that gave us the wrong one! It worked, but only on a few settings and the metal part of the timer that inserts to the knob broke off. We ordered this new timer from this seller on Amazon and ALL the settings work and it was simple to install. I strongly advise DIY’ers to take a photo of the broken part before you remove it, to properly install the replacement part. It makes it SO much easier to do it correctly. I would definitely order from this seller again!

Looked on GE parts website for the MFG part number, searched on Amazon, found and confirmed part was for my dryer. Part arrived 2 days earlier than expected. Read several reviews on Amazon, customers reviews made the job go smooth. However there's a small screw that holds control in place, PLEASE NOTE that if your doing it yourself the screw uses the smallest diamond bit. I was able to remove and screw back in with a needle nose plier, you'll need patience with plier. Read a few other reviews it took me less then 15 minutes to install, 35 minutes total.

This part is a perfect replacement for the one that finally died after 15-or-so years of heavy use in our 7-person household. However, before you order it and try to install it yourself, consider this:1) You'll be dealing with 120- and 240-volt wiring "up close and personal", so BE SURE to unplug the dryer power cord before you begin!2) Accessing the timer requires removing the back panel and a couple of inner assemblies in the dryer control panel, transferring several not-particularly well-marked wires from the old control to the new, and dealing with clips and other fasteners that secure the timer in place. Then, of course, you have to put it all back together again. (Suggestion: Take photos to document each step of disassembly, so you'll be able to remember where everything goes.)3) Be sure to correctly reconnect the dryer to its vent line when reinstalling the unit after the repair.If you doubt that you'll be able to do these steps with assurance, you're better off to order the part and hire someone who does this kind of work!

Product as described. Installed in less than 30 minutes. The only mistake I made was not ordering a replacement knob with it. Works great.

This product was so easy to install….I did it myself. I love it. It helped me save money on installation and a new washing machine.

I was so happy to find the replacement. The original ended up breaking where to turn knob attaches. It wasn’t hard to install, until the flimsy plastic in the area where you snap it into place broke. Used super glue. I was worried that that area where I used super glue would not last & break. Nope. That never gave me the problem. Instead the knob just would slide around the plastic part that it connects to & eventually became useless. Took about a month. So I’m having to buy another timer. I used pliers to turn mine since knob situation & that’s how I came to know that that part is only plastic too instead of a metal material which would make more sense since it’s stronger. All this stupid plastic. Waste of $$$. But it’s either buy a new timer & knob or invest in another dryer.

This was the exact item used in my dryer.. So i'm assuming it will also fail in a few years.
