Manufacturer Part Number: WP3948357

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.

Doug Phillips May 15, 2018 for Model Number LTE6234DQ2

Dryer element stays on after door is opened and does not stop heating after it reaches the stop. This has caused overheating to point the dryer knob warped.

1 Answer

Hello Doug, it sounds like the heating element for this unit might have grounded out WP3387749. Sorry!

Devin September 08, 2017 for Model Number TAWS700E

Washer fills to level and agitates then stops will not spin or drain. would this be a timer problem ?

1 Answer

Devin, You will want to check the lid switch to make sure that it is good and check the drain pump to make sure that it is not clogged. You can also test power to the motor and if there is no power to the motor then will be a timer issue.

Curt August 20, 2017 for Model Number LXR6232EQ0

This machine will fill agitate drain and spin when I get to the rinse cycle it won't do anything the timer just buzzes. Would you consider this a timer issue or a clutch issue. As always thank you for your time guys.

1 Answer

Curt, Check the water valve to make sure that the cold water supply is not clogged up with sediment. This will likely be the issue or a bad cold water valve.

Vicki June 16, 2017 for Model Number LTE6234DQ3

The power to the timer control switch dies. We shake the panel and power seems to reconnect. Like there is a short or something. We unplugged the power to the timer and reset and it work for awhile but stopped again. All we have to do is jiggle it a bit and it starts working again. It seems to disconnect when the machine is being used as it shakes so much! Do you think it is the timer itself, the wiring/power in the unit (that brings the power) or something else? What would you do if you were me? Thank you! Vicki

1 Answer

Vicki, For this issue the most likely cause would be the wiring of the unit. There would most likely be some type of loose connection causing this.

Fernando November 15, 2016 for Model Number LSN1000JQ0

Is there other timer that I can use instead of the 3953317.

1 Answer

Fernando, Unfortunately there would not be another timer that will work in place of WP3953317 for this unit.

Dave May 12, 2016 for Model Number LTE6234DQ3

The washer runs normally until the end of the spin cycle. When the timer reaches the end of the spin cycle, suddenly the water valve opens again and it starts to add water. If I pull out on the timer it stops adding water. Should I replace the timer control or could it be something else?

1 Answer

Hello Dave. You will need to replace the timer on the unit.

Jerry September 15, 2015 for Model Number LSR8233JQ0

The washer does not complete the regular wash cycle past the rinse cycle. Mainly on the regular wash selection. Works on the light selection on the right of the timer. If I tamper with it Can get it to spin out. I proper replacement part is AP3018981.

1 Answer

Hello Jerry. Yes, based on the information you provided it sounds like the timer is bad and will need to be replaced. You will need to order WP3953146 for the timer needed.

Sofia May 28, 2015 for Model Number LTG6234DQ1

Would not complete rinse cycle, was told to replace washer timer switch. Replaced timer switch as directed only to discover that its doing the exact same thing. What else could it be?

1 Answer

Sofia, If the unit is stopping at the rinse cycle and drains but not spinning then the issue would most likely be caused by a faulty clutch assembly.

Michael May 23, 2015 for Model Number LTG6234DQ1

Not completing rinse cycle. If I replace the washer timer control will this fix the issue?

1 Answer

Hello Michael, It is possible that the timer WP3948357 could be causing your failure.
