How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6006361 / WP22003371 Timer (Washer)

First, I bypassed the lid switch to make sure it wasn't the problem. It wasn't, so I ordered a timer and installed it using the appliance parts video and it works great. Plus the price was $35.00 less than my local parts store! Thank you 

Followed internet instructions on replacing timer 

Watch your great video and replacement part was easily installed....Thanks 

Replaced the timer. 

Replaced the timer 

Purchased a new timer —- watched You Tube! 

Removed the cover on the rear of the control panel. Removed the timer knob on the front of of the control panel. Removed the timer from the rear of the panel and disconected the wiring harness. Connected the wireing harness to the new timer and reinstalled the timer in the panel. Reinstalled The knob. I then started on the water level control removal by removing the air dome hose from the tube on the level controller and removed the control from its mounting. I made note of the wire location and removed the three wires and installed them on the new level control and reinstalled it back in its bracket and reinstalled the air dome hose. Plugged it in and run it thru a cycle. Worked fine. Thanks for the quick delivery of my parts. Note! A good dome hose replacement can be Found at auto store with 1/8 in. Black rubber hose cut to length. 

Unplugged, removed three screws on back panel. Unplugged timer, removed single hex head bolt and released retaining clips. Removed center cap on dial, used needlenose pliers to press 2 tabs together to remove timer unit. Reversed operation to install. 

Ordered a new Timer and after receiving the timer, I replaced it in under 10 Minutes. Tested the unit and it operated correctly 3 times in a row. Now feeling very successful that the Problem Is Solved. Other: I opened the Old Timer to find that 2 different sets of Contacts were shorted out and the Timer Casa was Smoke Damaged inside as well. Just Thankful that this did not result in an Electrical Fire in My Home!
