Description

The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers, designed to control the sequence of operations in your washing machine, from filling with water to spinning and draining. This mechanical device determines the duration of each cycle, ensuring your clothes are washed under optimal conditions for the selected settings.

Causes for timer malfunction often involve internal component wear, electrical failures, or corrosion due to moisture exposure. Over time, contacts within the timer can wear out or burn, leading to incomplete or erratic operation.  

Symptoms of a bad Timer include:

• The washer not starting or completing a cycle.
• Stuck on one part of the cycle for too long.
• Water not filling or draining correctly.
• The machine skipping certain cycles or operations.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
