How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6005741 / WP208292 Washer Timer

Machine would start, fill, agitate, and rinse but when I opened the lid to empty the clothes out it was still full of water. I would have to turn the dial to the delicates spin cycle to drain the water. Replaced the timer and it is working correctly now. 

Tested all connections with a multimeter. Verified continuity at all connections. Since the timer was rotating but the cycles were not engaging I decided it had to be the timer was wore out. Replaced the timer. 

Replace timer 

Because of our washer being 20 yo the part had been discontinued. But with the help of Robin, one of your chat pros. We were able to locate a replacement timer that would work. This all happened on a Sunday morning. Because I am a repeat customer I knew I could trust that the part would be the right part as it was. Whenever I need a part I know to go to AppliancePartsPros.com. In fact my sister just had a repairman out for her stove and was told how much it was going to cost to repair it. I sent her a link to APP and she called me last night thanking me. She was so impressed with how much money APP saved her plus how helpful and knowledgeable the your operator was. 

Replaced a door switch and the timer controller. 

Ordered a new OEM timer. 

Replaced timer. Hardest part was trying to figure out how to remove screws holding timer in place. Otherwise, easy job. 

I ordered the timer and it took me all of ten minutes to install.
