Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (60 Hz) (Motor Not A Service Part) by Whirlpool

This timer is the user-selectable control that advances cycles and powers timed functions on compatible laundry appliances. It replaces a worn or failed mechanical timer to restore proper cycle sequencing and timing. What it does:

• Advances the control through wash/dry cycles and selected settings
• Routes power to motors, heaters, and other timed components as the cycle progresses
• Commonly used when cycles won't advance, the timer knob turns but nothing happens, or cycle timing is incorrect
• Mechanical design — does not include a serviceable timer motor

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the timer to avoid shock or damage
• Some models require removing the console or control panel for access; keep fasteners and wiring order documented
• The timer motor is not a separately serviceable part; replace the complete timer assembly if the motor fails
