Nightsky, The correct timer part number for the model number you supplied is WP8566184 / WP8566184. Based on your post description, the timer knob shaft, has dislodged from the timer cam, and in order to " make" the proper contacts, and complete the circuits in the timer you have to press or pull the shaft in order for the cam wheel to close the timer contacts.
