The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers, designed to control the sequence of operations in your washing machine, from filling with water to spinning and draining. This mechanical device determines the duration of each cycle, ensuring your clothes are washed under optimal conditions for the selected settings.

Causes for timer malfunction often involve internal component wear, electrical failures, or corrosion due to moisture exposure. Over time, contacts within the timer can wear out or burn, leading to incomplete or erratic operation.

Symptoms of a bad Timer include:

The washer not starting or completing a cycle.
Stuck on one part of the cycle for too long.
Water not filling or draining correctly.
The machine skipping certain cycles or operations.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Timer Washer (Part Number: OEM18026622)

Andrew March 12, 2014 for Model Number YLTE6234DQ3

When I unplug it, the water shuts off. So, it seems it's pressure switch. But, when I adjust the water level (load level), it stops at correct level. And one more thing, that I noticed the buzzing sound coming from the timer switch at the end of cycle. When I press the timer off, the sound goes away. That's why I'm guessing it's timer issue rather than pressure switch. Which part should I replace first? Thanks,

Hello Andrew. For the water, I would suggest either the hose or the switch. For the noise, it does sound like the timer. Maybe you have 2 issues going on with this unit.

Hi there, I have an issue with my washer where it never shuts off the water. It constantly fills up the water to level I set; by end of wash cycle, it will refill the water. Instead of having dry clothes, I have all wet clothes. So, I manually shut off water tap end of rinse cycle. Do I need to change washer timer? Thanks,

1 Answer

Hello Andrew. There are 2 possibilities. It could be a bad water valve or pressure switch. Unplug the machine, if it continues to fill you will need to replace the valve part# WP3952162. If it stops when unplugged it will most likely be the pressure switch WPW10311356. Also check the hose on the pressure switch to make sure it is in good condition.

My 18 year old Whirlpool washer "stops" in the "normal" program before entering the rinse cycle. Pushing the timer knob in and advancing it manually for one click and then pulling it back out five times (five clicks in total) causes the washer to enter the rinse cycle on the fifth click and finally finishes the program. When using the "permanent press" program, the washer runs through each cycle without any hesitation. Have I reached the life expectancy of a Whirlpool timer (at 18 years :} ... or is there some other gremlin lurking around? Thanks in advance... John

How to remove timer?

1 Answer

Hello David. First you will need to remove the timer knob by unscrewing it from the timer shaft. Then disconnect the power to the unit, and remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Lift and filp the control panel over to access the timer. Unplug the wire harness going to the timer, and remove the screws holding the timer in place. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
