Get your GE or Hotpoint electric dryer running on schedule again with a direct fit WE04X25280 dryer timer. This is the cycle timer mounted behind the control console that advances drying programs, engages the drum motor, and signals the heater circuit. It is not the plastic knob on the front panel and not a heating element. If your dryer will not start, stops mid cycle, runs forever, or the knob turns but nothing happens, the timer is the first control board level part to check.
Built to match the original GE specification, it restores correct timing on compatible top load and front load electric dryers. Swapping a failing timer stops premature shutoff, overheating, and wasted power from over drying.

Why Replace Instead of Guessing
A bad timer sends wrong signals to the motor and heater relay. Leaving it in can burn out the thermal fuse or confuse the main control board. Replacing this 110V class timer takes about 20 to 45 minutes with basic hand tools. Cut power at the breaker, remove the top or rear console screws, photo the wire positions, unplug the harness, swap the unit, and restore power to test.
