Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (Electromechanical) by Whirlpool

This electromechanical timer controls the appliance's cycle sequencing so wash/dry cycles advance and complete as expected. Replacing a faulty timer restores proper cycle timing and program changes for consistent operation. What it does:

• Advances and times cycle steps so selected programs run in the correct order
• Interfaces with selector and motor to start, stop, and change cycles
• Can fail and cause symptoms like cycles not advancing, no power to cycles, or stuck on one setting
• Works with the appliance's existing wiring and mounts in the original timer location

• One electromechanical timer

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electric shock
• Access may require removing the console or control panel; keep fasteners organized
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting connectors for correct reassembly
