Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Timer (Cycle Control) by Whirlpool

This washer timer controls the sequence and length of the wash, rinse, and spin cycles. Replacing a failing timer restores proper cycle advancement and reliable switching between functions to help resolve stalls, continuous running, or cycles that never complete.

• Governs timing and switching for fill, agitate, drain, and spin steps
• Advances through each stage of the selected cycle
• Routes power to the motor, water valves, and pump as required
• Common symptoms: cycle won't advance, stops mid-cycle, runs continuously, won't start, or won't spin

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before servicing
• Open the control panel; remove knob/dial and mounting to free the old timer
• Move wires one at a time from the old timer to the new timer to match positions
• Secure the new timer, reassemble the console, restore power, and test a normal cycle
