Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Cycle Timer (Part Number: OEM18040557)

Jim And Sheila for Model Number 110.27612600

Hello, Our washer will run through the cycles but will not spin. A while back my son put it on the longest wash cycle and it just kept washing. It would be fine if we put it on a shorter cycle and did so for some time intil 2 weeks ago, stopped spinning. Also, the dial used to only turn clockwise and now turns both ways. Do you think it is the timer or something else. I need to fix it ASAP but I want to make sure that I order the correct part from you. Thank you very much for your time!

Hello Styleplus. You will need to check and see if the lid switch WP8318084 is bad on the unit. If so, it will cause the issues you are having with the washer.

Reno, First check or replace the water level switch and tube W10337781. This components controls the water level and tells the fill valve to open. If we have a bad circuit or an issue in the tube, the water won't enter the machine. On your machine, thats the more likely issue. Thanks and Good Luck

Hi Jon. This type of timer has been revised from the origional one because the timer 120vac motor is fed from the white connector on the back of the timer. The connections were known to be loose. Check this first. If that dont repair (or need to ), then the timer is part # WP8577356. Thank you.
