Default Burned out timer contact on Whirlpool dryer.

I've already ordered a new timer but, is there away to repair this timer?

I still have the tiny circular copper contact disk. How would someone
adhere it back on if they had to?

Bonus expert question: Why did it burn out??

TIA

Hi,
When I tried eBay with keyword "Whirlpool dryer timer" There were many hits.
I usually check eBay first for some thing like this. Last month I came
across a
high end laptop(gaming laptiop) with broken RJ45 jack. I offered 200.00
for it and
the owner agreed. You see as is you can only use Internet using WiFi,
very inconvenient.
I checked eBay to get a exact replacement jack and found one in China.
two for 3.00
free shipping. Taking apart the laptop literally takes about 1 hour to
get at the broken jack. It was filled with cat hair, I could see cat
stumbling across the CAT5 cable buggering up the jack. The jack was
replaced and every thing put back. Now it is a laptop worth almost 1G
just like new.
