Ge WH12X10348 Timer OEM Part

Ordered new timer, dial and control knob assembly. After unplugging machine I removed the knobs from the control consul. Removed three screws holding consul face plate from rear of machine. Moved faceplate forward to gain access to electronic components. Timer is located on right with one hold down screw which I removed. Lifting timer from mount location I removed wiring harness. Installed harness on new times and inserted into hole for knob. It would be helpful if front was market on timer. Installed screw and reinstalled consul face with three screws. Installed all control knobs except timer. Installed dial with arrow up and pushed control knob into place. Pulled control knob out and pushed in to set timer to desired cycle. Turned on and the washer worked.

Could hear noise from the timer, so I knew the problem was there.

Replaced with new timer

Replaced the timer, ring and knob, however while removing the old timer, I broke off one of the retaining clips that hold the timer tight to the front panel. Had to rig up an alternative, put a screw thru the tab on the new timer and into the front panel. A little bit of the screw came thru the other side, but out of the way enough. Looks like crap BUT, its fixed and clothes get clean so victory! Looked at a price for a new front panel and it's way too expensive for a piece of plastic. With a new panel and timer, I'm better off buying a new machine. That said, should have been a 10 minute, very easy project, my own fault it took longer.

New timer, replaced the control knob and timer dial while I was at it. The front panel was tabs that held the switch in place other than the one screw was brittle and breaking off, so I had to secure it with a couple of bolts and nuts. The same problem happened to the water level switch and had to do the same with it.
