Our dryer quit and I bought this from Pattern and it shipped from Amazon. It came quickly and I watched a couple videos online. The tools I used are my phone to take a photo of the wiring once opened. But otherwise as shown, a 1/4" nut driver to get the 2 long screws off the back corners of the top and then bump the top back 1/2" and lift it up. A t10 drive bit for the little screw at the side of the timer. My 3115 AC voltage sensor to make sure the power was off. Needle nose pliers and a screwdriver to get the wires off the timer (take a photo first). 2 trim pry tools to gently remove the knob and a grabber to pick up whatever had collected behind the dryer. I slid the dryer 3-4" away from the wall but didn't really need to. Also used a 8" high stool to lean over and look behind it. Once the top was bumped loose I rotated and drew it toward me and laid it on a towel on top of the dryer to remove 5 little screws holding the back cover and get to the timer. Don't drop any screws. Took about 5-10 minutes once I watched 2 youtube video, got the dryer clear and the tools collected. Maybe 1 hour total time, maybe less.

Replacement was simple. Worked as intended.

Perfect replacement part

This was the same brand as the one we were replacing (Norm Pacific) -- it wasn't clear from the product listing whether it was another brand. Worked perfectly.

This would be a 5 star review based on the fact it worked perfectly initially, but this is the second one I’m buying in 6 months. The first one is now free spinning and will not catch internally so that I can start a cycle. Being that these are near $60, and I’m on my second one, it’s getting to a point that maybe repairing the dryer is just pointless as the entire dryer was $700 brand new. Maybe I just got a bad one idk. Like I said it worked well, but as of 3 days ago something mechanically quit working inside the timer. If it happens again I’m probably just selling the dryer or looking for another company to buy this part from.
