How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6006197 / WP22001025 Washer Timer Control

Changed the timer. Only took 10 minutes. Problem fixed. My washer is over 20 years old. Glad I found a timer. 

No Rocket Science necessary. Remember how it comes apart, remove old and reinstall new timer. Was test driving it with a medium load of laundry in less than 30 minutes. Hopefully ready for another 20 years. 

Replaced timer. Only took about 10 min works fine now .. I must comment on the speedy delivery of part I ordered from you. I was really quite surprised to receive part so quick. Never had that great service Thanks for all your assistance I will definitely order parts from you in future as needed Thanks again. Regards. W. Driver 

I determined the motor was still good due to the fact the washer would agitate on the rinse cycle. Double checked the belts and they were fine. Also, the lid switch was good as the agitation would stop when the lid was lifted on the rinse cycle. That left the timer as the likely culprit. Bought a new timer and installed it. It was easy to do. I reviewed the diagram on this website that had the timer first before trying to replace it. This helped. Once installed I ran a test cycle and the washer worked just fine. 

After I finally figured out how to take the knob cap off, I simply replaced the timer. That was really easy and I felt amazingly proud that I fixed my washing machine.
