AEG 387502-6054
Product Name: Timer / Program Controller Module
Model Series: 387502 Series — Mechanical/Electronic Timer
Applicable Products: AEG Washing Machines, Dryers (older model series)
Product Description:
The AEG 387502-6054 is a program timer / cycle controller module used in older-generation AEG washing machines and dryers. It controls the sequential progression of wash cycles (fill → wash → rinse → spin → drain) through mechanical cam switches or electronic step-relay logic. It is the time-based sequencing brain of the appliance.
