Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Timer by Whirlpool

This OEM part is a timer for washing machines. The timer is the part that controls the desired time of the wash cycle. Over time, a timer can become inoperable after excessive use. If the timer motor has shorted, it will stop functioning properly. If the timer is no longer operating properly, it will need to be replaced.To replace the timer, start by removing the control panel of the washer. The control panel can be removed by unthreading the mounting screws that secure it. Once the screws have been removed tilt the control panel up to gain access to the timer. Once located, take a pair of needle-nose pliers and grab the centerpiece that rotates. Once the pliers have locked onto the centerpiece, proceed to pull off the timer knob from the front of the control panel. Then pull the timer dial off. Disconnect the two wire harnesses. Once these wires have been removed, slide the timer out from its place. Take the new timer and line it up with the four mounting tabs. Slide it in so the locking tabs lock into place. Reinsert the wires in their correct terminals and secure the control panel.This genuine replacement part is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore brand washers.
