The Timer Resistor is an OEM replacement part for GE electric dryers. It is a component of the timer assembly that controls the progression of drying cycles. As an electrical resistor, it regulates current flow during timed intervals to advance programs. Symptoms of a faulty timer resistor include: Cycles fail to advance properly and complete as expected Dry time deviations like shorter or longer operation Timers that randomly stop or remain stuck without advancing Fault codes or failure indications related to the timer Over years of use, resistor connections and structures can degrade inhibiting consistent performance. Replace yours with this genuine GE part to restore accurate timer functions and dependable dryer operation. This replacement timer resistor is also compatible with Hotpoint, Sears Kenmore, and RCA dryer models utilizing the same timer assembly.Part Number WE4M255 (AP2044425) replaces 175D2886P001, 771346, AH267964, EA267964, PS267964, WE04M0255, WE04X10029, WE4X10029.
