Whirlpool dryer LGQ7030KQ1 won't run the dryer won't run when the start button is pressed. Later we had it in the off position and the 30 minute wrinkle cycle was set to on. Suddenly it began to run. So we can get it to run in the wrinkle cycle but not in the timed cycle or automatic cycle with heat. is this a timer issue or are there other components that could be causing this problem? thanks!

oK " It's your timer, it has to be replaced

it's not going threw all it cycles, will start but will not finish

not a big job, unscrew plate on back at the top you will see
timer , take it out and replace it

( can not stress enough that you have to unplug the electrical cord from the wall socket before working on a dryer or any appliance )

Try to put the dryer on a timed cycle and see if the timer will advance. If you have the dryer on an automatic cycle and it is not heating it can run for a long long time. If the timer will advance in a time cycle you may just need to check your thermostats and the heater on your dryer. To do this pull the dryer out and unplug it, then take the back off. You will need a voltage meter to continue. Check the voltage at the plug and make sure you have two seperate 110 volt legs and 220 volts across. If the voltage is correct check the heater for continuity and make sure it is not grounded. Then check the thermostat on the top of the heater housing. If all of these parts are good and you have the proper voltage you will need a new timer

SOURCE: dryer will work for timed drying; not automatic cycles

Probably has a bad timer

SOURCE: whirlpool gas dryer not working, think the timer is bad.

Sounds like a timer problem .

SOURCE: Dryer no longer starts; timer advances on the timed dry cycle

Most probable is faul timer.
