Bernard August 04, 2013 for Model Number 388794 is the timer number for washing machine How do you get the knob off of the timer?
1 Answer Hello Bernard, If pulling on it will not get it off, you must have a different configuration. Some models have a retainer under the knob and others require that the control panel be opened and a release tab pulled to let the knob come free. If we had your model number from the units' I.D. tag we could tell you specifically. Read More...
Heath S October 25, 2012 for Model Number La5200xtw0 I purchased a timer assembly for my whirlpool direct drive washer. The timer is supposed to be held to washing machine by two screws that are accessed by removing the timer knob. The corresponding screw holes on the original timer assembly are threaded and the existing screws insert very easily. However the direct replacement timer that I purchased does not have holes that are threaded. The screws will not insert into the holes and the timer cannot be secured to the washer. Can someone please help me understand how this new direct replacement part is supposed to be installed? Is this a manufacturing error with the part that was sent to me or is there some other method to install?
1 Answer Heath, You are correct, the mounting holes on the new timer are not threaded. The manufacturer has discontinued that process. You may find it easier to partially install the screws into the timer(three or four revolutions) then install and mount the timer to the control panel. Thanks Read More...
Jim September 14, 2012 for Model Number la5600xpw6 This machine has two speed agitation. When the faster agitation speed is finished the slower speed that comes next does nothing. When that time for the slower speed is over it progresses to the next cycle. Except for this anomoly it works fine. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Jim. Test for power to the motor during the slow speed. If there, replace the motor. If not there replace the timer.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...
