This mechanical cycle timer regulates the sequence and duration of the washer's programs. Replacing a worn timer restores proper cycle advancement, helping the machine start, progress, and complete wash, rinse, and spin stages as designed.

  • Sequences power to the drive motor, pump, and water valves through each stage of the cycle
  • Advances the internal cam and contacts to move the washer from wash to rinse to spin
  • Helps with: cycle not advancing or stopping mid-cycle; won't start on certain settings; no agitate or no spin in selected cycles; knob won't turn or feels loose
  • Mounts in the control console and interfaces with the cycle knob
What's included: One mechanical timer assembly. Install notes:
  • Unplug the washer before servicing
  • Open the control console; remove the knob/dial and the timer's mounting hardware
  • Photograph or label wiring; transfer leads to the new timer one at a time to matching terminals
  • Reassemble, ensure the knob indexes correctly, and run a test cycle

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Timer (Washer) (Part Number: OEM18018630)

1 Answer

Ryan, the voltage would be tested from the yellow wire to the black wire on the motor for the run winding and from the red wire to the brown wire for the start winding. If there is 120VAC during the agitation cycle, the motor 12002353 has failed. If there is not voltage, the timer WP22001252 has failed.

Ryan, The issue described could be a couple of things, starting with checking with a multimeter the power from the timer to the motor when it should be running. If you have power to the motor and it doesn't run then it would need to be replaced.

Hello Julie, This can be caused by a bad motor or a bad timer. You can test to see if 120Vac is supplied to the motor in the normal cycle positions. If not, replace the timer WP22001252. If so, replace the motor 12002353. The quality of this machine is very high so I would not hesitate to repair and retain it.

Hello Byron, the timer internal contacts are wearing, the repair would be a new timer (22001691) however the manufacturer has discontinued the part and it is no longer available.

Char, the timer [WP22001252] more than likely has bad contacts in it that are not allowing for any function aside from the delicate cycle to operate.

David, You will want to check the tub for cracks and make sure that the pressure hose is connected properly to the side of the tub. Also check to make sure that it is not leaking around the shaft of the transmission. If it is leaking from around the transmission shaft then the issue will be a tub seal that needs to be replaced.
