For Whirlpool Timer (Part Number: OEM18018816)

Kc for Model Number LAT1916AAE

The washer will fill and start to wash. Cycle will stop early. Timer continues to run. Sometimes it will start to spin on its own, other times you will need to push in/pull out the knob for the rinse cycle to continue. Once the rinse cycle starts sometimes it will continue and complete the cycle as normal. Other times, it will start and stop and the timer continues to run, but clicks loudly. As it continues onto the spin cycle, washer fills as normal. Sometimes it will not spin, others it will complete as normal. Sometimes the time will run all the way through the cycle and never start to spin.

Hello KC. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer is bad and will need to be replaced. Your serial number will determine which timer you need for your model.

Hello, In studying the wiring diagram it appears that the timer has to have welded contacts. If the first two numbers in the serial number, (series number), are 14 or lower, you will need to order timer number 22001686. If the first two numbers in the serial number are 15 or higher, you will need timer number WP22002181.

H Harris, Yes, the timer WP22002181 could be and probably is the issue, based on the supplied information and description. The timer replacement would be the place to start first.

Midnight Rider for Model Number LAT8016AAE

"EASY CARE/PERM PRESS cycle" Tub fills ok. Timer ticking, knob advances but NO agitation (primary motor not running). Timer knob moving toward "cool down". At cool down, tub spins & empties water. "pre-rinse" works, water added while tub in spin mode. Spin stops. Timer at "Rinse" position & tub fills with water. Agitator DID work. Agitation stopped, began spin cycle & emptied water. Washer stopped once timer reached OFF. "REGULAR CYCLE" works same as perm press except NO agitation at all.

Hello Midnight rider. If there is no power from the timer during that one cycle, you will need to replace the timer on the unit. 22001686 is the 10 to 14 series timer and WP22002181 is the 15 series and above. The first 2 numbers of the serial number determine the series.

Hello, I would first check the water valve WP22001274 for series 10 or lower, (series number is the first two numbers of the serial number), WP22002360 (for series 20 and above). If the cold water valve is bad, the unit could be filling from the hot valve on the wash and since the cold valve is the only valve energized for the rinse cycle, it could be the issue. Next, I would test the water temperature switch 22001655 and then the timer.

Hello Frank. If the unit is not filling with water, and the valve is new, then usually the pressure switch WP22001775 is the problem, and not the timer. See if the timer is sending power to the pressure switch. If there is power to the pressure switch, and the switch does not send power to the valve, you will need to replace the switch on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
