Andria, This issue would not be with the timer. The issue with this unit will most likely be the pressure switch as it will shut the water off when the unit is full.

Eric for Model Number Whirlpool Washer Model #LSQ8543JQ0

Want to know if I need to replace the timer on my washer. Our machine does not agitate, rinse and/or spin. I did determine that the water lever switch is working since we had set it at low and switching it to medium water starting coming out. The water temperature knob is functioning as needed as well. Noticed that the timer switch was no longer making any noise as it had before. No ticking or buzzing as it normally does when it was moving along. It does not advance whatsoever. Is it very probable that I need a new switch or check its' connections?

1 Answer

Hello Eric, You should first check the lid switch 3949247V. You will need to use the wiring diagram to troubleshoot and see where the voltage stops. You will also need to make sure voltage is not being supplied to the motor on more than one terminal at the same time since this will quickly overheat the motor and trip out on overload.

Elvis for Model Number LSQ8543JQO

My washing machine has always worked just fine with a few minor repairs over the years. I started a load of wash and left it overnight. When I came back the machine was overflowing and had flooded my basement. I pushed in the timer to stop the water from flowing. I checked the water level tube for obstructions and also tested the water level sensor and it appears to be working properly. Could a bad timer have caused this over flowing by not allowing the water level sensor to trigger it to move to the agitation phase. I don't know how to test the timer to see if it is working properly. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me.

Elvis, The timer would most likely not be the cause for the unit to overfill. This issue would more likely be caused by a faulty pressure switch. When the unit is filling the pressure switch acts like a line break. Once it gets to the desired level it will cut the connection to the water valve. You will want to replace the pressure switch for this issue.

Nancy, You will want to check to make sure that there is nothing in the drain pump that is causing it to bind up and not allow the motor to turn. If the motor is not even making a noise then it sounds like the lid switch would be the issue.

Hello Bill! According to the model number supplied the timer, part number WP3953321, is the correct replacement listed for your appliance and will work on your washer. Unfortunately, we do not have the specs to verify the difference in the two listed timers. Thanks.
