Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (Washer) by Whirlpool

This washer timer controls the sequence and length of wash cycles. Replacing a failed timer restores proper cycle advancement so the machine fills, agitates, drains, and spins at the correct times.

• Sequences fill, wash, rinse, drain, and spin operations
• Routes power to water inlet valves, drive motor, and drain pump at the proper times
• Advances and completes the selected cycle
• Failure may cause cycle not advancing or stalling, no agitate/spin, won't start, or a dial that doesn't move or advances intermittently

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply for safety
• Open the control console; remove the timer knob/retainer and mounting screws as needed
• Move wires to the new timer one at a time (or photograph wiring for reference)
• Mount the new timer, reassemble the console, restore power, and run a test cycle
