John April 25, 2022 for Model Number Whirlpool top load direct driver washer The washer was not draining in the rinse cycle. Agitates but clicks an buzzes in the drain cuylce. does not progress. - I checked for any clogs in the drain lines and house pluming in or house lines. - I bypassed the lid switch to make sure it is working - drained the tub and all lines - removed the washer cover. removed the pump cover, no obstructions in the pump. - replaced pump, Main motor Drive shaft spins and pump spins. - reconnected the control panel. The unit will agitates and NOW will spin, presumable b/c no water in the tub. Is the timer BAD? I do not think it is the pump because no electrical parts on the pump. old model washer approx 2006
Linda January 14, 2020 for Model Number LSR8433KQ0 A very small clip is broken off the black pin that goes thru the timer to hold the knob in place. Is this black pin simply a device to hold the knob fast? Or is this why the machine won't advance to agitation? All other cycles seem to advance fine, it's just the agitation on both wash & rinse. I can jiggle the knob and get it started but if I don't get to it within several minutes I smell "hot". Hot wires?Hot motor? Don't really know. Do I need a timer or a new washer? Thanks.
1 Answer Linda, the black pin is used to lock the knob onto the timer shaft. the burning smell that is occurring could be from the timer contacts not closing properly when it is supposed to be agitating. It would be recommended that the origin of the odor is isolated to if it is in the console ( indicating the timer WP3948852 ) or if it is from near the motor. Read More...

Lla October 23, 2015 for Model Number RAS8445KQ0 Hi. My washer won't fill up with water on the Super Plus setting, but will fill up with water on the Large settting. It then goes thru the wash cycle and spins, but goes into the Rinse cycle without any water at all, unless I set it to the Medium setting. I'm told this is the timer. Could you please confirm for me? Thank You.
1 Answer LLA, The timer would most likely no be the issue with the unit. You will want to check the pressure hose to make sure that it is not clogged or damaged. If this checks ok then the issue would most likely be in the pressure switch. The part number for the pressure switch is W10335056. Read More...
Andrew November 05, 2014 for Model Number Roper Washer The black pin/key/spline that helps link the knob and dial to the actual timing mechanism broke. It's the piece the instructional videos show running right down the middle of the timer (and sometimes has to be pushed down to re-install the knob). I can't find this piece for sale. It would be a pity to blow $130 on a new timer because a replaceable, two-cent part broke. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Andrew, Unfortunately the pin that goes through the timer to hold the knob in place has to be gotten with the timer as it is not available separately. Read More...
Elaine August 27, 2014 My washer will not fill at the beginning of the cycle. If I advance the knob to the drain cycle it will try to do that. I think it is my timer. Is that right?

Carl May 25, 2014 for Model Number LSR8433KQ0 My washer quit running after the wash cycle control knob was making rapid clicking/humming sounds but not advancing to next stage. Also I cannot get the machine to spin or pump water, is timer bad ?
1 Answer Carl, The clicking humming and no advance would be a faulty timer WP3948852. The no spin or drain, is most likely an issue in the timer, but you should also check the lid switch 3949247V as well. If the switch doesn't have a closed circuit when the lid is down / closed, the washer motor can't reverse and drain or spin the tub. Read More...
Jesse July 10, 2013 for Model Number LSR8433KQ0 My washer works fine (it runs through all the cycles, fills, agitates drains, etc) but during the spin cycle. It doesn't spin most of the time but every few loads it will randomly work. Any idea what's going on? Thanks!
1 Answer Jesse, You will want to check the clutch as the clutch would be the most likely cause of the unit not spinning. Read More...
Dro53 April 24, 2013 for Model Number LSR8433KQO Hi: My mom's washer fills up with water and agitates but does not advance to the rinse cycle, or any other cycle after that, so it does not drain as well. If the knob is moved manually to the rinse cycle, or the spin cycle, nothing happens (the washer is dead). Can you help please? My mom is beside herself, she does not know what to do.
1 Answer Hello Dro53. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch 3949247V is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
