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
