JennAir Timer Motor or Control Board Timing Failure

Dryer timer does not advance on timed cycles; dryer runs indefinitely until manually stopped.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed mechanical timer motor, Open timer contacts, Faulty electronic control timing circuit, Incorrect wiring after repair

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the timer or control board.

Identify timer type: Mechanical-timer models use a knob and ticking timer; electronic models use a digital display.
Mechanical timer: Remove the console back panel, locate the timer, and test the timer motor for continuity. If open or not receiving power, replace the timer.
Electronic control: If the display counts down but the dryer keeps running, the motor relay on the control board may be stuck closed. Replace the main control board.
