What This Listing Includes: One genuine OEM WP8299778 laundry Dryer Timer as supplied for the manufacturer service application; adjacent parts, hardware or accessories are not included unless specifically stated.
Compatibility Basis: Encompass supplier data reviewed; model-first verification is used because no incomplete short model list is relied on for this listing.
Model Evidence Note: Verify the complete appliance model number, including suffix/revision where present, against current manufacturer or Encompass service information before ordering.
Correct Part / Compatibility Check: Confirm that WP8299778 is explicitly associated with the complete appliance model, then verify suffix/revision, installation position, dimensions/interfaces and configuration. Do not infer fit from appearance or symptoms alone.
Distinguish From Similar Parts: Timers can share similar housings while using different timing programs, terminals or shaft configurations.
Possible Related Symptoms / Reasons to Inspect: Inspect after diagnosing cycle progression, timer motor operation and related wiring; symptoms alone do not prove timer failure.
Important Safety / Service Note: Disconnect appliance power before servicing the timer or control-panel wiring.
Ordering Note: Symptoms can identify a system to inspect, but they do not prove this specific component is defective. Confirm the OEM part number or model-specific parts diagram before ordering.
