Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (Mechanical Cycle Timer) by Whirlpool

This mechanical cycle timer controls wash/dry cycles and advances settings so the appliance runs through its programmed steps. Replaces a worn or non-advancing timer to restore reliable cycle sequencing and user control. What it does:

• Advances the appliance through programmed cycles so selected functions run in order
• Engages and disengages timed functions (fill, agitate, drain, spin/heater) as the cycle progresses
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't advance or stays stuck on one cycle setting
• Common symptom fix: timer knob won't turn or timer runs without changing cycles

• One mechanical timer assembly

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Label and photograph wire connections before removal so new timer wires reconnect correctly
• Secure mounting screws and ensure knob engagement before restoring power
