Whirlpool WP22001252 Washer Cycle Timer OEM Part

Took out old timer, and upon inspection notice some electrical arcing( burned areas). I installed new timer and worked perfectly. Problem was that it would fill up with water, but after it was filled the timer kept going but washer was not agitating. Only thing that worked was delicates wash. Important Disconnect/ unplug power cord! 1. Remove knob, center cap pops off revealing a pin. Slide that off and the knob should come off. 2. Removing knob should reveal 2 socket screws remove thoses 3 remove 4 screws from the top of the washer and the whole top assembly should pop right up 4 remove white and black harness to the timer 5 install new timer, and follow steps 4 -1 to put everything back together.

Read on this site what the problem was, what part we needed, saw others with similar problem. Ordered part next day shipment, got it, installed very easily. I am not a skilled repairmen, but if you read up ahead of time, look at the diagrams or watch a video. Be sure to remove the center cap on the big timer knob, and undo the clip. Look up the knob diagram like I did so you understand. If you try to pull or pry the cap off you will break it and cost more money. Saved the cost of a repairman or even buying a new machine.

Replaced the timer. Had trouble figuring out how to actually install it. Specifically, how to remove the front-facing dial which is attached to the timer. On my particular model, the middle of the dial had to be pryed out. Some models you unscrew it, and some others you pull a tab apparently. I had to do the other obvious things as well, such as unscrewing the front-frace plate, disconnecting the wires from the old timer. Oh, and unplugging the machine from the wall. That's probably the important thing that i did. I've heard that electrocution kind of sucks. It took me half an hour to (unsuccessfully) google how to remove the dial, but after figuring it out, replacement took less than 10 mins.

Replaced timer unit... It was EASY! Part was exact replacement unit. Just remove the old one and put in the new. There are no instructions with the timer unit. But, it is very easy: 1. Remove center cover from timer control knob 2. Remove C-clip that holds knob to shaft 3. Remove knob and spring 4. Remove two screws at top of control panel 5. Tip control panel forward 6. Unplug the two control cables from the timer 7. Remove the old timer 8. Mount the new timer 9. Plug in the control cables 10. Reassemble & test Success!

I bought and replaced the timer unit. It was an easy fix that took me about ten minutes. It would have taken five minutes if instructions came with the product, which I would have appreciated. The hand up was figuring out how the front knob came off, and that there was a little cotter type pin holding the mechanism onto the face of the washer control panel. Put the new timer on, plugged in the two switch harnesses, and put it back together. It worked perfectly.
