The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It controls the sequence of operations in the wash cycle, ensuring each stage—washing, rinsing, and spinning—occurs at the correct time. The timer is integral to the machine’s functionality, managing the duration and transitions between cycles.
Causes of a bad timer can include electrical faults, wear and tear from regular use, or damage to the internal components due to power surges or mechanical issues. A malfunctioning timer can disrupt the entire washing process, making timely replacement crucial for maintaining efficiency.
Symptoms of a bad timer include:
- The washer not advancing through cycles
- Inconsistent or incomplete wash cycles
- The machine stopping mid-cycle
- Unusual noises coming from the control panel area
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
