Whirlpool W11043389 Timer is used to regulate the time and functioning of the dryer to provide efficient drying cycles. Designed to fit and work efficiently, it controls the heating and the tumbling of the dryer and can move from one cycle stage to another to achieve the best drying. The timer also interacts with internal contacts to commence, operate, and cease cycles at the appropriate time to avoid over or under-drying and helps to have better efficiency.
