  • Common symptom: appliance stays on one cycle, won't advance, or runs continuously.
  • Common symptom: cycles do not complete or the appliance fails to switch between functions.
What's included: One 3-cycle mechanical timer. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning any service.
  • Take a photo or label wiring before removing the old timer to ensure correct reconnection.
  • Handle the timer and connector pins carefully to avoid damage; use proper tools.
  • After installation, restore power and run a test cycle to ensure proper operation.
