Timer goes off ok. but does not come on at determined time.

Hello,
The problem is going to be resister based on everything you described(thanks for telling us what you have done to determine the problem) this resister has no bearing on the timed dry,but is what allows the timer to advance on the auto dry cycle.
The part number for that resister is WE4X499 it could be purcahsed at your local appliance parts store or online at;

Hello
Before going to set the timer, you have to set the current time. Set it according to the manual with you. If the timer function work properly, there must be an uninerrupted power supply also. If the power goes off, the set time will also get resetted, and improper function will occur.
After setting the present time, set the "on" time and "Off" time. The TV will switch on at that time you set, and will switch off automatically after the end time. OK.

hi
You can reset the lamb timer as follows.
While pressing the MODE button, press the POWER button three times.
all the monitors flashes for a few second , The lamp timer is initialized to[ 0 hours] .

ok

are you talking about the timer?if it is then just replace the timer,send the model number next time and i can tell you the part number and how to change out the part you need.the timer advances and then goes into defrost,then it should start the machine again,the timer clock inside the timer is broke keeping it in defrost,when you turn it manually you're taking out of defrost,you need a new timer

Check your timer knob. On these GE dryers I have found a lot of times the knob cracks where the stem of the timer goes in and the resistance of the timer will make ti slip internally rather than turning the knob. If the knob appears to be ok, then I would say you definitely have a bad timer on your hands.
Timer is part number WE4M271 and runs around $100 from marcone's
Knob is WE1M654 and is around 18$

Good ;uck with this!!

Check the Lid switch. Most top load machines will not spin unless the lid is down and this is determined by the lid switch.

HI, The timer control module is the culprit. This device controls the heating functions of your unit. You have indicated that the timer will not stop the unit, and it continues to run after the cycles intended stopping point. This will confirm that the timer is damaged, and it should be replaced asap, if possible.

NOTE:-( Just to be safe, check the thermal fuse as well. This is a emergency cut-off fuse that will blow if the element overheats your unit. it is located on the blower housing, or vent duct inside the unit. Test the fuse for continuity. If it is ok, replace the timer).

It doesn't and shouldn't matter as all fridges with a mechanical defrost timer will run through a complete refridgeration and defrost cycle according to the manufacturer's factory design.

It doesn't have to correlate to your local time, since all defrost cycles for self-defrosting units operate based on the manufacturer's specs for how often the unit needs to go into a defrost cycle to prevent ice build up in the freezer.

Your fridge will adjust properly, once it gets cold enough and begins the specified operation and pre-determined cooling and defrost cycling.

john, i'm assuming the water heater is 240 volts and the timer is 240 volts, if ok follow these instructions. the 2 wires coming from the breaker box goes on 1 & 3 screws, also each yellow wire going to the timer motor goes on 1 & 3. now the 2 wires going to the water heater goes on 2 & 4. be sure to ground the timer box

If you get to the menu part for the timer controls (by pressing more to the right with the 4-way key), slect either 2 or 10 secs with the OK button at the lower riht part of the 4-way key. keep pressing the OK button (about twice more) and you observe that the menu goes back up to a higher hierarchy until it is in the main menu. you have to make sevral Oks - hope it yelps!
