Whirlpool Dryer Not Working - Bad Timer - Rebuild it?

Don't know if you can rebuild yours or not. I saw new ones for around 55.00 to 65.00 plus shipping. Still probably more then you want to spend. Do you have any local guys repairing/selling used washers and dryers? Maybe they have a used timer to sell.

I took it apart to test the timer motor, and while doing so, accidentally dumped the cams etc in the timer box. <!!#&!!> As it turns out, the timer motor was OK, and there appears to be a broken cam flange on one of the cams in there.

Long story short, I put it back together and it works. Must have stopped one time just where the cam lined up and it slipped off.

I'll look for a used one, but for the time being, it works. Go figure.

Thanks to all for the support!


UPDATE: It broke again, and this time I extended the broken flange by adding a small piece of shrink tubing over the remaining nub. So far it's working.
