The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It controls the sequence of the wash cycles by regulating the various operations, such as filling, agitating, rinsing, and spinning, at the correct times.
Common causes of a faulty timer include electrical issues, wear and tear from extended use, or damage from moisture and corrosion.
Symptoms of a bad timer include:
- The washing machine not advancing through cycles
- The machine getting stuck on a specific part of the cycle
- The timer knob not moving or advancing properly
- The washer stopping mid-cycle or not starting at all
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Found replacement timer at Appliances Parts Pros. Ordered on a Sunday (as all appliances fail on the weekend) and with expedited shipping got the part on Tuesday morning. Video from Appliance Parts was very helpful and entire replacement took less than 15 minutes. I also purchased a timer for a dryer earlier and had the same positive experience.
