Customer Questions and Answers for Timer by Ge

Manufacturer Part Number: WH12X10338

The Timer is an OEM replacement part for GE washers. The timer controls most of the operations of the washer: water level, tub filling and emptying, length of cycles, and cycle setting sequences.

Causes may involve minor power surges exposing delicate components to uncontrolled fluctuations overtime. General wear from years of activating various thermal, agitation and spin functions can degrade sensitive electronics as well.

Symptoms of a bad timer include:

  • Erratic or inaccurate countdown between cycles
  • Failure to switch automatically between rinse and spin
  • Locked buttons or controls suggesting circuit board issues
  • Inability to modify or set desired cycles and options

This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore model washing machines.

Russ, If the washer will fill and agitate, the next check needs to be the lid switch and wiring. If the lid switch circuit isn't completed with the lid closed, the washer won't drain and spin. If the lid switch is OK, then go to the timer replacement. A failed switch or damaged wire or connection is more common than a failed timer, but yes timers and timer contacts can fail, it's not as common as you implied.

Vince, You will want to pull the front panel off of the unit and look at the motor. There will be a control board there with a flashing light. You will want to count the flashes and then check the number of flashes according to the tech sheet which is located in the console. This will guide you to which part may need to be replaced.

Hello John, Since no parts are available for the timer individually, it is not considered a serviceable part. I'm sorry but there are no instructions for the dis/re-assembly of an unserviceable part.
