According to the video, before anything, it will be needed for you to disconnect the power to the dryer in order to make it easy for you to pull it forward and unplug it or find the electrical panel, turn off the appropriate breaker or remove the appropriate fuses. To change the part, you will need to access the back of the console so you will need to pull the dryer a little bit forward. Remove these screws that secure the back cover onto the console. Then, you can just pull that back panel off and set it aside. Now you have the access to the timer. Pull the timer off. Remove these two quarter inch hex head screws that secure a mounting bracket control panel. Remove all the wires that are attached to the timer, including the large harness connector. Feel free to use a screwdriver if you need it. Besides, you can also use plier. When using it, do not forget to just hold onto the internal. After removing all wires, the next thing that you have to do is to discard the old timer. Before installing the new one, make sure to carefully inspect each of your wire terminals in case there is a sign of arching or corroded. Please cut the bad terminals off in case there are any of them. After you are done with inspecting the wire terminals, it is time for you to get the new timer and connect all the wires to the new timer. Then, put the new timer in the same position as the old one. After that, put everything back on and you are done.
