Before you spend the money replacing your timer you may want to try to repair it. In this video, I open up an Invensys timer from a Maytag. This may also be found in Whirlpool, Sears Kenmore, or others. This was the first time I had opened one and it was an easier fix than I thought.

Thank you for excellent video. My Maytag washer was directly start agitating without filling water either at the beginning OR during rinse. I suspected it is timer, so used your video as guide to repair it and saw 2 pins got shorted inside, so separated them, filed and put it back. It is working fine now. You saved me $100+ just for part and repairmen asked $300 parts+labor for repair. It hardly took 30 min to do this repair myself using your video. Part that I repaired was W10111389.
Thank you! You are a genius - seriously we are living in a crazy time right now and my washing machine broke at what has to be the worst time imaginable - I watched countless videos, replaced parts, and just about gave up except it would be over a week before the repairman could come out, and longer if a part had to be ordered before the machine would be working. Then I found your simple to follow Video, and tried it, it worked! I can not thank you enough!
Although I have a 20+ year-old Kenmore 90 series which uses a completely different timer that is not "repair friendly" (bent metal tabs hold it together), seeing the innards of your timer and the cleaning of the contacts allowed me to bring my Kenmore timer back to life. Thanks for the video!
I have the same style as you with the bent tabs and it certainly isnt repair friendly at all. Cleaned contacts and put it back together and everything seems to be in place but now the washer doesnt do anything.
Kenmore 80 series here and I noticed the same thing, not easy to get into the timer at all. Going to try cleaning the contacts as best I can anyway, wish me luck!
Thank you for making this video. It gave me the confidence to open up my timer. My issue was simply that there was a *ton* of lint around the leaf switches. Vacuuming out all of that lint fixed the issue and saved me at least 300 dollars.

Honestly, exactly the type of DYI repair video I needed! Especially when the parts are not made sicne 10 years ago!
@Healthful HQ Where? Please post the link for the Invensys timer part nr. so I can buy.
Great video, I was able to take apart and fix my timer on a 20 year old Maytag washer that was otherwise in good shape. I did break a few plastic tab pieces from the timer but it seemed quite secure when i put it together anyway. 20 year old plastic is brittle. Thanks! Saved me about $150 for now.
It worked for me! A new timer is $130 so this was a Godsend. Thank you so much!
@@877MRFIX06 still going strong.
This was exactly what I needed to get my dishwasher going again. Thanks a ton!! I was able to to trace the problem to the timer...then to one circuit in the timer, but wasn't sure how to repair. Turns out cleaning the contacts was the fix.
Excellent instructions on howto fix a washer timer for a Whirlpool top load washer. Thank YOU!
Adam thanks for the video. My Maytag was stuck on agitate. After watching your video I removed the timer and used a small file to clean the contacts and now it is working great. A new timer without shipping would have costed me 106.00 and I made the repair for free. Great video!!!!
Hi please let me know what you did is working properly my whirlpool machine just stop yesterday
@@fazilapandor3641 were you able to fix your timer? I was just curious. Thanks
@@thinkingimpaired5663 thanks u so much i suppose to reply 2 weeks ago but sorry about that I was just so busy i open my machine but I didn't know what to do but after we call some and he fix for me he check and he put new fusa and is working but ur video help me to open machine so much more but u must do 1 video where you can put fusa because I didn't know where was fusa it will help more people thanks
This actually worked for me! We were having issues that were obviously timer related. The only thing is, I couldn't get my plastic tabs to unsnap without cracking 3. But it's held up for one wash!
Dude... Thank you!!! Just fixed the timer on my wrillpool!!!! We made the same mistake of not alligning the thing when putting the timer back together and we had to take it out again like 3 times till we desided to watch the whole video... Thanks a lot!!!!
Hi hope you we'll my whirlpool machine just stop nothing is happening what can I do please let me know
I'm very mechanically inclined AND YOU MADE THE MYSTERY BOX LOOK SO EASY ! thanks.
I choose to repair, not just "replace"... relays are easy to replace on control boards and cost 10 bucks vs 200 for a board... good video.
Awesome video!!! The timer on our Whirlpool washing machine was failing. I looked into replacement and the part alone was well over $300. I then found this video and decided "why not, what do I have to lose?" I removed the timer, opened up the timer and I could clearly see that many of the contacts were contaminated/tarnished. I cleaned off the tarnish with steel wool, reassembled, reinstalled and ... YAY, we once again have a functioning washing machine ... all thanks to this video :) Thank You Thank You Thank You. Big hug \_._{"}_._/
Your video put me on the right track. It wasn't draining after agitation. My extra problem was 1 contact/switch was fused/ stuck together. I used a hacksaw blade to seperate them and filed the remainder down. Put it back together and it works fine. My other comment is everyone else said it was a lid switch, but if it fills and agitates then the switch is working. Best as I can tell, it either is working or not all the time the lid is closed.
Just like cleaning and re-gapping a sparkplug on a lawnmower to get another summer out of it. Your video gave me some clues on what to expect on the inside of the timer. Cleaning now. Crazy how much even a used replacement costs for a 20 year old washer. You hopefully just saved me a 150$.
I had a problem where the washer would work intermittently and the timer wouldn't run. I suspected a clock motor and ordered that, then decided to check those reed switches. I found the circuit that provides power to the clock motor was dirty and cleaned that set of contacts using that exact same tool you have. I use that contact burnisher for a lot of fine electrical contact work and it does a great job. Replacing the controller can cost in excess of $160 and cleaning the contacts is a lot less expensive. Great vid.
Stupid Maytag that wants to make money on high prices parts and service calls.
I think the agitation delay circuit board (the little white thingy) that you disconnected from the timber is my washers problem.
This video is super helpful.
Thanks Adam!
Thank you! My car is working now.
Hoping this works for me. The replacement part I need is super expensive and even if I was ready to pay for it everywhere online is "out of stock" so I can't get it anyway.
Thanks for this video. Helped me fix my washer. Saved me 250 bucks
Wow, I'm loving the possible DYI repair. THANKS
Too easy!!! A great simple video and took care of the problem... THANK YOU!!
en verdad me sacaste de un problema ya que pense que lo estaba armando mal pero solo era cuestion de cerrarlo completamente gracias
I was ready to replace the whole washer timer. I am going to try this first. I am having a tough time removing the entire assembly. Very tight in there. I will look for a video on how to disengage the washer timer. Thank you very much.
muchas gracias e reparado varios programadores con tu vídeo ya que acá en Colombia este es muy costoso desde medellin colombia
Hola, gracias por compartirlo en UA-cam 👍 yó también he reparado muchos de estos timers de lavadoras y secadoras también. Lo mejor para que duren esos contactos (porque ya lo he hecho) se les coloca en paralelo un condensador de: .05 Mf. a 250v.ac. a los más propensos a flashearse. Claro como el condensador De poliéster absorve el momento en que se abre el contacto, ahí en ese momento el recibe la descarga, pero no deja el CHISPONASO que se hace al levantarse el contacto. Espero y sea de gran ayuda para todos los que hacen esta clase de recuperación a los timer análogos. Desde Santa Marta Magdalena 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Excelente explicación gracias
Thanks!, This video saved me $200!!!
Awesome, Thank you so much! My family and I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks Adam! Followed your great video lead, my Whirlpool a little different but same mechanical fingers with points. Got it fixed and saved myself big $$s!!

My whirlpool machine just stop yesterday what can I do please let me know
Without removing the to gear (assuming this could be even done without damaging the assembly) it seems that reinserting the pin block with the gear and pin actuators in place risks not having the pins in the pin block not seating properly or maybe becoming damaging. Mind you ive never done this so this is all just a guess. Am i making sense?
I should clean the contact pines with isoprophylic alcohol and lubricate softly the rotating gear, with this you assure a best performance.
GRACIAS.- EXELENTE VIDEO.. SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO ..
Excellent video. It helped me a lot today. Thanks for posting.
Adam your video was exactly what I needed to see in order to refurbish my timer. I have yet to do it though.
Can you tell me more about using contact cleaners alone with the file. What I'm asking is some contact cleaners also claim to add a layer of protection against corrosion while cleaning the contact. I'm fairly sure I'll have to file my contacts as they remind me of the old auto ignition points.
I'd like to find a product to help prevent future contact arcing.
Fascinating, especially the pin part.
my agitator wasn't working . took the timer out and filed the contacts and works like new . Great video .
Thanks for you explanation on this video.
Like filing the points on an old Points and Ignition on older cars... but about a dozen more at a time.
But back in the days before the all solid state ignition systems of today, used to go to auto parts stores you could get IGNITION POINT FILES.
Amazing how many function that little timer control yet so simple. thanks enjoyed the video
Le agradesco gracias a este video yo arregle mi lavadora xk ya no jalaba segui tal cual el prosedimiento y ya jalo otra ves mi lavadora..pues esa pieza negra en sepulveda esta en 3000 oy 16 de sep.fuy a preguntar..
Hey this video might be 4 years old but it helped fix my washer last night.. thank you and thanks to everyone that puts out money saving videos like this. 👍
Lost tech - distributor points file from pre-electronic ignition in a 50s to 70s car.
Try to keep the point so that they maintain contact across the whole surface. This minimizes the current density and minimizes the chance for further arcing.
this was great. i cleaned up my pins easily..they come apart which made it even easier to access both sides....it did fix one problem....(previously i took things apart to deep clean the washer)...must have done something when reinstalling....agitated when it was first filling.....then after messing with it forever...agitating went away and only spun dry....i swapped out the water sensor as the likely culprit but new part didnt fix anything...i think my water valve blew a fuse or broke or something...i tried a Multimeter but it seemed ok...im not great with a MM...but after cleaning the timer...it seemed to narrow things down to a water value issue...at least after a good cleaning on the timer. i appreciate the video so i dont waste money and time on a timer if it isnt that
I'm trying this tomorrow. Mine cost 199 to replace. Im doing this first.
Hi Adam, my problem is with the on/off switch, dont make click so i cant turn off/on the washer, but your video is helpful anyway
Most of these plastic timers are almost impossible to reassemble. Not to mention filing them is at best a temporary fix. If the contacts are that burnt, they will continue to burn up. I've fixed hundreds of machines with timer problems and filing might buy you a couple of months or a couple of days. ;) Its best to just replace timer.
Thats all fine and good but what if they no longer make the timer that fits the washer? I love my old washer and want to keep using it but they don't make the timer anymore.
@@kysmik8214 If you think you can do it, go for it. If you want help looking for a timer, post your model no. and manufacturer. I used to do this for a living.
You're awesome, Thank you sir. I appreciate you!
Thank you !
Hey bro great vid. I was wondering if we could put some dielectric grease to maybe help.
Nice tip! Can take a week and cost a couple of hundred dollars, esp. here in Canada, to replace this type of timers.
Man, you saved me $120. Thanks.
Woah, my timer is way different. But this principle is the same. In the smaller timer I have, the "finger" contact section slides out of the main body very easily. Two tabs (one hidden) pop it out, and then that part slides out to where you can see the rotating part. Somehow, my whole timer was not working or advancing, so the contact cleaning part was less important than correcting the part that must have jammed all of the contacts. It looks like mine is working now
I was curious if you have a Maytag and if so what model of Maytag.
My problem is,i hear the clicking but the timer doesn't advance. Do u think its the same problem as you had? As i say i hear the clicking but no advancing. I'll try and open anyway. For a hundred and fifty bucks, it's worth a shot. Thanks.
Thank you so much
Mine is a white westinghouse, it I 30yrs old and the part has been discontinued. So this is what I will try, I hope it works, stay tuned.
That would adjust a setting not working when set on it but i wouldnt effect it automatically changing between them
What if the problem is the timer doesn't turn on its own si that repairable?
Great video, it saved the day and money.
Hi, are all pins open after cleaning them? I mean, they must have continuity only after pressing them?
Adam -- It would have been instructive to show the technique for opening the timer case such that the detent is disengaged without damaging the brittle plastic lip holding it in place. I was proceeding to gingerly unclamp the first detent and saw that I would have irrevocably cracked the plastic lip that holds the detent in place, so I halted. The part is over 10 years old and appears to be brittle by now. Obviously, the timer was not engineered to be repaired i.e., disassembled. The new part runs from $100 - $200, depending on vendor, so I sure wish I could clean up the leaf switches myself.
Perfect! However, cleaning the contacts didn’t fully repair our timer. Almost looks like ours may have been refurbished or something, I don’t know. Either way, I really appreciate this video!
Thank you! Very helpful video!
I'm 99% sure this is my problem. I can't wait to go home and fix it myself!
How did it went? 🤔
@@librequito
She must be blind to read and answer, I don't know how some people can live life ignore someone question
2 years later still no answer ?
HOW DID IT GO!
@@seanmiller5509, it actually worked for a little while. I probably needed to do a more thorough job, but I ended up moving a few months later and didn't take the washer with me.
And for the haters above complaining about my not answering, UA-cam did not notify me that someone had replied to my comment until today, so you can blame UA-cam. @dragonfly @lok tom
How is the large white gear removed. I have problems with contacts welded together under white gear.
Would that cause a buzzing noise to come from the timer? If I open the console and flip it horizontal it's quiet again, then buzzes when I put it back down... Maybe something loose?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge my friend ✌
Thanks for posting an sharing! Cheers..
Great video, love from phoenix Arizona
The reason it was tight to turn at the end of video is because you didn’t have the knob shaft rod pushe in all the way.
Se ve excelente la espiración pero no se ablar en inglés por fabor traducirlo a español nesecito esa información para reparar esos temporizador espero respuesta gracias
I used the CRC to cleaning the timer of GE WDSR2080GWW which is the muscles American washing machine then i take sand paper and try to clean this copper after that used Vaseline not grease because it plastic and grease the teeth gear check the continuity then it done it work again the problem there is no spare part of this timer in saudi arabia they trying to kill this washing machine and every machine 110 v i don’t now way
I have a question for you. I took apart the same model timer as you have in the video . I felt that all was good with what I done inside to clean the contacts . When I reinstalled timer into the washer how the washer is not in time with the timer position.
Example if you have the arrow on the timer knob on off it maybe filling the washer with water. How do I retime the timer to washer?
Exactly what im wondering now lol.
gracias excelente video master
do you have a video that explain how to read the timer sequence chart or if not do you know a web site that has it ,I am trying to learn to read the time sequence chart ,thank you
The timing sequence chart should be on the inside of the back panel of the washing machine along with the schematic of the wiring. There is no need for it though. The mechanical timers are very sterdy and once you clear all the contact points you are good to go for years. You read it like a graph. Color coded connections i.e. wires are on the x-axis, modes are on the y-axis. A blackout in the graph or table tells you what wires are connected for that mode, e.g. black and grey corresponds to super wash. Your trouble shooting should now move to the other parts of the washer
Thank you Adam,I appreciate you
Great viseo. Thank you.
should I replace the dial motor if the settings don't match up with knob
I love this video. I bought a replacement timer for my roper ras7133rq4 washer before coming across your video. When installing the replacement timer, the pin inside the shaft will not slide down so I am unable to put the timer knob on as the final step in timer replacement. Do you have any suggestions? Does it need to be in a certain position to get it to slide down? My original timer did not have this problem. ☹ I took my old timer apart and cleaned the prongs as you suggested but the plastic part inside the timer is burnt so I don’t know if it will work.
This helped me understand.
thanks dude
Where did you get such a small point file? thanks
We're can I go to buy new contacts for my timer?
INTERESTING !!
Do someone knows if this trick will fix a timer that is stuck in a cycle, i mean my washer is filling water, starting washing the clothes but it keeps going on washing for hours and the time is still at the start not moving. I pull the knob, turn it one or two click away, push the knob back, and there the timer start moving again and finish all the rest of the cycles. ?? Can it fix my issue ?
Just did it for my timer, some pins were black, i use sanding paper, checked with multimeter and everything was ok but didnt fix my issue. If somebody have an idea: i always use the "regular" mode, it fills water and starts washing but keeps washing forever, the knob "jam" always at the same place in the cycle, it pull the the knob, turn it 1 mini click further and push the knob down, it starts washing again and finish everything as should be... i doubt it is the little motor inside...
The spring clips at 1:02 is what broke. I need to know how to replace that so my know will stay on.
Any videos on how to fix a misaligned washer dial for centennial 210140921d
Great idea but getting the leaf switch pack back in correctly is another story. Why didn't you show this part?
And a little vaseline on a Q-tip.
After I clean my timer and put it back together......... the knob feels softer to dial, I don't know what happened. ( it just doesn't make that Click noise as I'm turning the settings)
Tks a lot..Gracias
I'm sorry your video was excellent.
Adam, thanks for the help, also where do we find the tool you are using, if you have a link or the name would be helpful
Hello, I have a kenmore model 110.12852100 and my timer’s model no is 3952958 (the beige one). My problem is that when the cycle gets to spin, I hear the motor (or the pump?), but the drum doesn’t spin, so my clothes are still soaking wet. I’ve checked my timer and the connections seem to be super clean. I still sanded them a little, but the problem is still there. What else do you think it could be ? Thanks !
I got the control panel up but my clips fell in the washer so how do i get my clips out and it did not say how to take the old timer out to replace it
That intro, 11/10
Thanks for posting this. I have the same washer. Are some of the contacts supposed to be permanently touching? It looks like some are intentionally bent to stay connected.
Problem I’m having: When I turn the washer on instead of only opening valve to fill it starts agitating as well. Then when it finishes the cycle it adds water instead of finishing on a
Spin cycle.
Did you ever get yours working? I have 4 contacts permanently touching and my Whirlpool is doing the exact same thing as yours.
@@cod1ak yes! I got it working! it ended up being the temperature control module. I don’t know if that’s the exact name for it but it’s the black module that is right behind the knob that you turn for changing the water temp from hot cold or warm. There is a “full” sensor in there that will go bad causing the machine to think it’s full when it isn’t and then that will send it into the next mode. Lmk how it goes!
@@brettmagnuson8318 Thanks for the reply! I ordered the temp/water level module and that fixed it. I did clean up the contacts on the timer 1st, but that wasn't the issue.
My timer is sticking before the rinse cycle. Is this the problem?
Probably, although I love the Whirlpool direct-drive washer I'm now on my 3rd timer, the last 2 stop making contact on the beginning of the rinse cycle.
