Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Timer (Part Number: OEM18017286)

1 Answer

Hi Katherine. Make sure the drain pipe is as tall/taller then the top of the washer and the drain hose is not vacuumed locked pulling water from the tub as soon as it is put in. Then if the unit keeps filling then unplug the unit while filling. If the water sops filling then it is not a water valve. Then if it keeps filling, then replace the water valve part # WP21001932. Unhook the pressure switch hose. Blow into the hose backs towards the tub. If you felt like there was an obstruction pushed into the tub, you have cleared the hose from lint or debris. this will not allow the pressure switch to close and start the cycle after proper fill. If not it is possible you have a bad pressure switch part # is WP21001554. Thank you.

Hello Katherine. If the unit does not rinse or spin out, you will need to check the lid switch 12001187 and see if it is broken. If so, it will cause the unit not to rinse or spin. Hope this helps.

Hello W R Ireland. If the spin works in one cycle, but not on the other, you will need to replace the timer WP21001522. Hope this helps.

Hello Jo. It sounds like the pressure switch may be bad on the machine. Remove the pressure hose and make sure it is not clogged. Also if you can stop the water coming in with the timer, then the problem is in the pressure switch. You will need to provide your serial number if the switch is bad, so we can get the correct one for you. Hope this helps.
