Whirlpool & Kenmore Dryer Timer Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Kenmore 110 series dryer stops mid-cycle or won't advance through the drying program. Before you haul it to the curb, there's a good chance the timer assembly has failed — and it's a part you can replace yourself. This hub covers the W10186032 timer that fits dozens of Whirlpool-manufactured dryers sold under both Whirlpool and Kenmore brands.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The W10186032 timer (also sold as WPW10186032) fits specific Whirlpool and Kenmore dryer models, primarily in the 110.6 and 110.7 series. Your model number is stamped on a metal plate inside the dryer door opening or on the back panel near the power cord. Match your complete model number — including the suffix digits after the decimal — against the compatibility list below before ordering.

About This Replacement Part

The dryer timer is the mechanical brain that controls cycle duration and transitions between drying stages. When it fails, you'll typically see the dryer knob refusing to turn, cycles that won't start, or the drum running continuously without shutting off. This OEM-equivalent part replaces obsolete timer assemblies across multiple production years. The W10186032 supersedes older part numbers including 2116926 and AP6016544, making it the current service replacement for dryers manufactured roughly between 2005-2012.

Installation Overview

Replacing the timer requires removing the dryer control console — usually held by two screws at the ends or clips underneath. You'll disconnect multiple wire harnesses from the old timer, so take a photo before removal or label each wire position. The timer mounts with two screws and the knob pulls straight off the shaft. Plan for about 45 minutes if you're methodical about wire placement.

What You're Getting

The W10186032 is the complete timer assembly with mounting bracket. The control knob usually transfers from your old timer unless it's cracked. This part carries the same 60-minute and timed-dry functionality as the original Whirlpool factory timer. You're paying $122.99 for an OEM-equivalent component that restores full automatic operation to your dryer.

Before You Order

Make absolutely sure the timer is your problem. If the dryer runs but doesn't heat, that's typically a thermal fuse or heating element issue, not the timer. The timer controls cycle progression — if your dryer won't advance through Auto Dry or Timed Dry settings, then yes, this is likely your fix. Verify your exact model number matches the compatibility list to avoid a return.
