  • Opens and closes internal contacts to power motors, heaters, and valves as designed
  • Interfaces with the control knob/shaft for user-selected settings
  • Common symptoms: cycle won't advance, timer doesn't move, stuck mid-cycle, or runs indefinitely
What's included: Timer assembly Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
  • Note wire locations and transfer one wire at a time to the matching terminals on the new timer
  • Reuse existing mounting hardware and control knob/shaft parts as applicable
  • After installation, run a short test cycle to confirm the timer advances correctly

1 Answer

Tom, The timer motor is not available separately. You will need to purchase the timer.

Dan, It would be unlikely for the timer to move to fast and cause the issue with the clothes being wet. This would most likely be an issue with the unit getting off balance causing this issue.

Shizuko for Model Number MFG p/n WP661649 / AP6010254

For Kenmore Residential washer 110.22702.100. This model does not come with Rinse Option but offers 2nd Rinse cycle after each of regular cycle ( Perm press or Ultra Clean ) Cycle ends after the first rinse / spin at "off" on dial, but leaves cloth very soggy. The cycle does not self advance to 2nd rinse. To complete the proper spin, it requires manual operation to advance to 2nd spin. Wondering if this is due to faulty dial/switch or this is a original design intent. Would like more information of the parts ( perhaps description of operation and the wiring diagram ). Your advise is appreciated.

1 Answer

Shizuko, Manually having to advance the timer to the second rinse is the way that the unit was designed. On newer models there would be a option switch for a second rinse which your unit does not have.

Don for Model Number 11023822100

After reading your Q&A postings, I believe that the timer in my Kenmore washer needs to be replaced. My question is how do you sync the timer with the control dial on the machine? You really have no idea where the timer shaft is set for when you get the new one. If you can't tell where the timer is set, you have no idea where to replace the dial. There are no markings on the shaft vs. timer to indicate where in the wash cycle the shaft of the timer is.

1 Answer

Don, When you receive the replacement timer WP661649, you will see how the white plastic portion of the timer shaft is shaped and "keyed" so the timer dial WP3949428 will fit in one way only, once the dial is properly aligned and seated on the shaft, screw the timer knob WP3948416 onto the threaded portion of the timer shaft, and test the washer operation.
