Looking for SQ dryer timer 505797P

[meldew]

Hello, I purchased a 2010 speed queen dryer and it was recommended to try to get one of the mechanical timers as a backup since they no longer manufacture. Does anyone have one or a lead to one? Thank you! It’s part 505797P.

505797P subs to D519030 which is readily available. Comes with wiring harnesses and diagrams needed to convert from the discontinued Kingston timer to the new Robertshaw one.

It's a much involved repair than a simple timer swap, but at least you won't be left high and dry if the timer goes and you can't find the old version.

Actually, I recently needed to have the pump replaced on my SQ AWN432 washer, and the tech informed me that mechanical timers for those washers are no longer available so is it possible that the advertised 25 year life may be cut short due to lack of available replacement timers? Anyone aware of a source for replacement timers for those washers?

I don't think that's true... What's the full model number of your washer?

In general Speed Queen is good about keeping parts available for a long time.

I looked and the timer for my washer is still available
