Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (Electromechanical) by Whirlpool

This electromechanical timer controls cycle timing and advance for your appliance, restoring proper automatic operation and cycle sequencing. It replaces a worn or failed timer to help the unit complete selected cycles correctly. What it does:

• Advances and times program cycles so the appliance runs through selected operations in order
• Powers and sequences motors or valves according to the selected cycle setting
• Commonly used when cycles won't advance, the unit runs continuously, or selected settings have no effect
• Replaces a faulty timer that causes intermittent or no response from cycle controls

• Disconnect power before beginning repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the timer and wiring gently; match connector locations during reassembly
• After installation, test all cycle settings to confirm correct operation
