Installation Notes

Unplug the dryer from its electrical supply completely before beginning any disassembly or timer replacement. Wear work gloves throughout the procedure to protect against sharp sheet-metal edges inside the cabinet. Appliance service technicians typically use a 1/4-inch nut driver and Phillips screwdriver to access the control panel and timer mounting hardware. Photograph the existing wiring harness connections before disconnecting them to ensure correct reassembly.
