Description
This is a Genuine OEM Kenmore part. Basic InformationPart Name: Dryer Timer and Resistor KitManufacturer: WhirlpoolCategory: Dryer PartPrimary Function: This kit includes a timer and a resistor that controls the electrical components and regulates current flow through the dryer timer motor, determining the duration and efficiency of drying cycles. Installation & CompatibilityCompatible Models: Fits various Whirlpool dryer models; please confirm this part is correct for your model before ordering. Installation Difficulty: Medium — Unplug the dryer before installation and wear work gloves to protect your hands. Tools Required: Multimeter for continuity checks, screwdriver for removal and installation. Additional Information: When a dryer won't advance through the cycles like it should, these troubleshooting steps can help determine if you should order kit 696876 or just resistor 279872.If the timer advances in the timed dry cycle but not in the automatic moisture sensing cycleUnplug the dryer and check continuity through the resistor using a multimeter. Replace the resistor with part number 279872 if you measure infinite resistance. Should the timer still not advance in the moisture sensing cycle after replacing the resistor, the entire timer should be replaced using the kit, as the timer is not sold separately. If the timer does not advance in any cycle, replace the timer using the kit. | Kenmore Whirlpool Dryer Timer And Resistor Kit 696876 4.75 x 4.25 x 5.88 Genuine OEM
