W10185981 / WPW10185981 Dryer Timer

Key Features

  • Precision Mechanical Cam System: Engineered with a high-durability internal cam set that manages the electrical switching for the motor, heater, and signal buzzer, ensuring the exact sequence required for Time Dry, Auto Dry, and Air Fluff cycles.
  • High-Torque Synchronous Motor: Features a reinforced internal drive motor designed to provide consistent, steady rotation of the timer dial, preventing the timer from getting "stuck" in a single phase and overheating the clothes.
  • Silver-Alloy Electrical Contacts: The internal switch points are coated in a specialized silver alloy to resist carbon buildup and "pitting," ensuring a low-resistance connection and preventing the localized heat that often causes plastic timer housings to melt.
  • Standardized D-Shaft Interface: Utilizes a universal D-shaped metal shaft that ensures a perfect, slip-free fit for original factory control knobs, restoring the tactile "click" and accuracy of your cycle selection.

Compatibility & Fitment

This mechanical timer is the standard control heart for dozens of large-capacity dryers produced by Whirlpool. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool & Maytag: Fits hundreds of LER, LGR, MED, and MGD series models (e.g., LER4634EQ2, MEDC215EW1).
  • Kenmore (110 Series): Compatible with many 110-prefix models produced by Whirlpool for Sears (e.g., 110.60852990).
  • Amana & Crosley: Fits various NED, NGD, and CDE series units.
  • Admiral, Roper, & Inglis: Direct fit for dozens of budget-friendly top-lint-filter dryers.
  • Note: This timer is located behind the control console. It is accessible by removing the screws on the back or top of the console head.

When to Replace

  • Timer Won't Advance: The dryer runs indefinitely and never shuts off, or the knob stays in the same position throughout the entire cycle.
  • Dryer Won't Start: You turn the knob and press start, but nothing happens. If the door switch and thermal fuse are good, the internal timer contacts have likely burned out.
  • No Heat in Certain Cycles: The dryer provides heat in "Timed Dry" but not in "Auto Dry," indicating a failure of a specific internal contact bridge.
  • Knob is Hard to Turn: The internal plastic gears or the metal D-shaft have partially seized, or the shaft has snapped inside the timer body.
  • Loud Clicking or Grinding: A persistent mechanical noise coming from the console suggests the timer's internal motor or gear train is failing.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: You MUST unplug the dryer. Working inside the console involves exposed 120V and 240V terminals. Safety is better than a surprise static shock.
  • The "Photo" Rule: Before removing any wires, take a clear photo of the back of the old timer. The wire colors and terminal letters (A, B, C, etc.) must match exactly on the new unit to avoid a short circuit.
  • Terminal Transfer: Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to move one wire at a time from the old timer to the new W10185981. This prevents mixing up the connections.
  • Check the Knob: When removing the knob, pull it straight off. If the center of your old knob is cracked, it may not turn the new timer shaft correctly; consider replacing the knob as well.
  • Test the Advance: After installation, set the timer to the very end of a cycle and start the dryer. Verify that it shuts off automatically to ensure the synchronous motor is receiving power.

Good Coin / Keys Tray
Color: Midnight Black, Size: 7.5" x 5.5" x 1.5"
Loved this organizer so much that I ordered one for my Grandson for Christmas. Coins and keys don't make noise when dropped into the tray and it protects the wood of our dresser. Looks very nice too.

Great item, BUT…
Color: Bootlegger Brown, Size: 10.5" x 7" x 1.5", Color: Bootlegger Brown, Size: 10.5" x 7" x 1.5"
Do I love it? Yes. Is it well made? It certainly appears to be. Is the leather thick? Yes, I’d say definitely thick and sturdy. Do I like the color (Bootlegger Brown)? Of course I do, it’s gorgeous. It seems very well made. The corners are secured with black fasteners, which I think are going to better than the buttons in the long run that I’ve seen on others. It’s was this brand, or Hide and Drink for me. I went with these guys because it’s U.S. made, and hopefully American sourced leather. I bought the Large. My concern was that the XL might be too large for my nightstand. I measured it out and everything. However, I was not counting on the length and width to be measured from the end of the pinched corners, so I was a little disappointed about the size of the useable surface area. It’s not a big deal, but I wish that I’d have just spent the extra $5 and got the XL. If I we’re to get another, I definitely go with the XL unless you just want something on the smallish side, but still I suspect that they are larger that what most others are offering. At least these guys give you a choice of options.
