Customer Questions and Answers for Timer Motor by Whirlpool

Chad, Check and replace the lid switch assembly WP22001682 , When the fuse is damaged by a faulty switch or wire. When the fuse is blown, the washer will only spin, wont fill or wash. When you replace or repair the switch assembly, raise the lid one(1) inch, then slide the assembly towards you until the lid switch clicks, then tighten the mount screw. Also check and make sure the lid hinge balls aren't loose or broken and causing the lid to fit loosely and move side to side or front to back too much.

Hello Mark. Make sure the heater is working in the unit. If so, and it sticks in the cycles, you will need to replace the control board in the unit.

Lou, You are correct, the water temperature switch 207367 wouldn't have anything to do with your problem. But the timer WP22207376 could be the culprit for all your issues. You also want to check the water level switch WP207360 and air tube to make sure there are no loose wires or tube.

Tina, Replacing the timer motor may solve the issue, but you'd be better served to replace the complete timer 207372, There is a high probability that there is a mechanical failure in the gear case of the timer.

Hello Mike. If you stop the water by unplugging the washer, it is a bad pressure switch 206220 or pressure hose. If you have to turn the water off at the shut off, you have a bad water valve 205613 on the unit.

Hello Joe,

This sounds like you have a bad or weak start winding in the motor 12002351.

Hi Patty. Yes this is a timer issue part # WP206228. Remove the power. On the control panel at the top are 2- screws at each side. Put a towel down to let the control panel to be able to lean fwd on top of the washer lid when loose. Unscrew thew timer knob. Carefully look at he timer skirt notch as it insets onto the timer shaft key one way only for proper reinstalling. Then remove the 2- inner top screws only. This allows the front panel to come down all together. Then mark down all wire connections. Use a cell phone picture for proper reconnection on the new timer if needed. Remove the front timer mount screws. Re wire the new timer with one wire at a time onto the new timer. Remount onto the control panel and reverse reassembly. Thank You.

Patty, It could be a timer, but first check the speed selector button, Make sure one button is pressed and completely pressed down. This was an issue at one time. If you do need to replace the timer, because of a faulty contact, it's a simple process, with basic hand tools. Remove the cenetr cap on the timer knob, you'll need a small blade screwdriver to pry it off. Use the same screwdriver to unclip the retainer, holding the knob on. it's spring loaded, so don't loose it,or the spring. remove the dial skirt and the two 5/16 inch hex head screws. Remove the two "inner" phillips head screws from the corners of the control panel top trim, and pull the control panel top out, towards you. Of course you've already unplugged the power cord, or removed power to the washer. Switch the wires from the original timer to the new timer, one wire at a time, then reverse the procedure. Good Luck and Thanks

Roy, When you raise and lower the lid, can you hear the lid switch WP22001682 "click" open and shut ? If the larger of the two switches is faulty, the washer will fill but the motor won't run. It's a quick and easy check, unplug the power cord, remove the two inner phillips head screws in the top corner of the console, and roll the console top out towards you, you'll have acces to everything from there,That would be the place to start. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello David. You will need to check the lid switch W10820036 if the unit does not spin or drain out the water. It should read closed with the lid closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
