The timer is responsible for the operations of the washer, including filling and emptying the tub, how long a cycle runs, and other various cycle sequence settings. If the timer has failed or is malfunctioning, a replacement part is required. When the timer does not advance or if the machine is operating sporadically, it's an indication the timer is damaged.
Replacing the timer in a washing machine is simple. The component is located in the control panel of the appliance. Disconnect the washer from its power source before starting the repair. Disconnect the wires on the damaged timer and reconnect to the replacement part before reassembling the washing machine. A nut driver, pliers, and screwdriver are required to complete the replacement of this timer.
