Lynn N. December 30, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool model# LSR5233AND When set on the heavy cycle it does not complete the cycle it gets to 1 spot and stops before the spin and rinse. I can re set the timer to permanent press and it will empty the water refill and spin out and turn off. My repair man replaced the clutch but it is still the same. My know it all husband says its the timer. Can you help me?
1 Answer Lynn, Your husband is pretty close to target. First check the lid switch 285671 and lid hinges etc.to make sure the switch is mounted and secured to the top properly, make sure there's no loose lid hinges and bearings. If the switch is not making proper contact, the washer won't drain and spin. If all's OK, then replace the timer 285938. Read More...

Chasbone July 23, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 I have a Maytag Centennial washer, when you start on any of the cycles it starts to agitate while it is filling, I am guessing the timer has gone bad, help, thanks
1 Answer Chasbone, You'll need to check the wiring at the load sensing switch W10292584 and the delay timer on the back of the mechanical timer W10104800. Both these components control the water fill process, and the timer advancement. If there are no loose connections or damaged wiring, replace the sensor switch. Read More...
Susan May 30, 2013 for Model Number WHIRPOOL WASHER L809200 It smells like something is hot and burning. I think it is the timer. It's hummed before, occasionally and if I moved the dial a little bit it would stop. So far, it's been acting fine. Today, it smells hot. Not using it until someone can look at it. But I like to be "informed" before I call a repairman.
1 Answer Hello Susan. Unplug the unit and remove the panel panel on the control panel. If you can smell it coming from the timer, then the timer will need to be replaced. Read More...

Brian January 26, 2013 Hi, Whirlpool Washer mdl # LST7233AQ0. Washer will not drain in regular cycle, but drains fine in permanent press and gentle cycles. Timer indexes fine through all cycles, but does not start the pump in the regular cycle. It just sits idle for the 2 minute drain cycle, and then goes directly to spin (with a full tub of water). It spins fine. There is only a problem with the stationary drain period in the "regular wash" cycle. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Brian, This sounds like a burned set of contacts in the timer 285938. It should be the only thing different in the circuit during the regular cycle. Read More...
Grace December 27, 2012 for Model Number 110-28622701 My washer will fill with water start the cycle but stays on the wash cycle and does not advance. I think it might be the timer but I'm not completely sure your advice would be appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Grace. If there is power to the timer motor, and it does not advance, you will need to order and replace the timer 285938 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Mike September 18, 2012 for Model Number lst7233aw0 I have been experiencing the following problem. Start the washer and it fills properly and begins to agitate (so far so good). The timer dial turns but when it reaches the rinse I hear it click but it does not switch cycles, it continues in the wash cycle. Same thing happens at the spin cycle, hear the click but continues to agitate until it reaches the off position. Then the washer stops with a full drum of water. Regardless of where I start the washer it will stay in that cycle until the timer reaches the off position and it never switches to the next cycle. Once the timer dial reaches a point that should trigger a new cycle, if I stop and restart the machine at that point the new cycle triggers but will stay in that cycle until the end. Is this a faulty timer? Thanks for any advice.
1 Answer Hello Mike. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer 285938 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Anthony P July 23, 2012 On regular, my water level fills up fine and it runs through until it hits the rinse cycle. It stops and the timer just stays in the same spot even after awhile. I push in the knob and turn it back to the same spot and pull the knob to get it started. This may take as much as 10 tries. Sometimes I would put it a bit past the part it stopped and it might run again. After 5-10 minutes, it stops before before the spin cycle. I push the knob in and repeat the process. I'm not sure if it is a timer problem or a lid. The lid seems to be working fine and i can push down on the lid switch. Do you think it's a timer problem?
1 Answer Anthony, Before you replace the timer, you should access, and check the lid switch and wiring. You may have a loose wire connection or intermttent contact inside the switch. You may also want to disconnect the air tube from the water levels switch and blow into the hose, to clear any debris in the tube, that may be causing the switch to operate improperly.
