How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6013162 / WP8557301 Timer (Dishwasher Cycle Control)

Watched the video you guys had online (very helpful and easy to understand) and then I took my timer off my washer, ordered the part (which came the next day by reg shipping) and put it on. No problems. 

I ordered the timer from Appliance Parts Pros. The time came within 24 hours of ordering (amazing service) I brought my laptop to the laundry room and following the step by step instructions on the video and replaced the part within 30 minutes. Honestly, it would have been faster except that I had trouble finding the right size nut driver on my husband's messy work bench. The only thing I could recommend is that the video missed one step. After you put the new timer in and install the knob, you have to push the black pin in to engage the knob. Other than that....A+! 

Replaced the timer 

Ordered a new timer from you. Watched the video you sent and had it fixed in about 15 minutes! Thanks! 

Replaced the lid switch first, but the timer was making an abnormal noise ( loud clicking sort of ). So I then changed the timer too. The repair was easy and in less than an hour those parts were replaced. The problem I had that took a long time to resolve was the knob on the timer.One of the tabs broke on the new timer when I tried to put the knob on....I ended up drilling a hole in it,installing a 3" #6 machine screw and a miniature nut that fit in the back that still allowed it ( the knob ) to be pulled out to start the cycles and be pushed in to select the cycle....I wish all knobs had a mechanical fastener to hold them in place...spent about 3 1/2 hours trying to figure out how and what would work to hold the knob in place....a few cuss words did no good...Jeff 

Installing the new timer fixed the problem right away. I had previously ordered the same part refurbished from eBay, that was a mistake, as it didn't work properly. This part was brand new, OEM, and worked out of the box. 

Replaced timer by myself following AppliancesPartsPros YouTube video 

Replaced timer, took about twenty minutes. How to Video made it possible to do job. 

New timer. 

Took a guess that was the problem. Ordered a new one from you all and used the online video to replace it. Was easier than expected and glad to have the washer online again. Thanks so much.
