    Hello I have a pool as well but only one of the gears spin inside it is that normal it doesn’t turn on every time I set the time. And I don’t hear any ticking

    My clock completely stopped working yesterday, I cant hear the time sound at all but the light switch in the same box still works. What do you recommend? Gears arent moving

      I recommend replacing the motor on the back of the timer when the gear stop working and you have power that is going to be the issue.

    I have 2 of these timers side by side. The timer for my pool filter would turn off but not on. Turns out the timer and motor itself are fine but the little metal rocker bar behind the timer wheel is worn down enough that the On pin slips over and doesn't trigger any longer. I haven't been able to find replacement parts for the T104R so I've been manually switching on my pool pump for a few weeks now. This morning I thought I would be slick and see if I could at least temporarily swap the plate with the metal rocker bar from my pool sweep timer and put it in my pool filter timer. I removed the timer wheel, removed the c-clip holding on the two remaining plates but my problem now is getting the spring clip that is between the two plates in the right position for the assembly to trigger the timer switch. I've tried to find any videos on removing and reassembling these parts but I can't find anything. I'm starting to think no one actually repairs these timers, they just replace them.
    Has anyone seen any tips on reassembling the plates behind the dial and how to set that spring clip, or am I just going to have to order a whole new timer assembly?

      Anytime we run into issues like that. It’s best to replace the timer itself. If you’re looking for a video to replace the timer/dial as a whole that will fix the issue also remember timers only last so long before having your replace them

    • @ClearlySeen

      If you have a mechanical timer, you would put a on and off tripper for the time you wanted to come on and off with a gap and then another one and off tripper. I’ve had some customers that have four sets of them.

      If it’s a digital variable speed pump, then you’re gonna have to go into program it

    Hello, The gears behind are moving fine, but the yellow part itself does not rotate anymore. There is a little metal piece with a hammer head hanging down a bit below the yellow dial that looks out of place (we had house sitters who may have done something to it). Any thoughts are appreciated...

      I would have your local pool service come out and replace the timer motor it’s located on the back of the dial.

    I have a timer issue where when the off tab shuts the system down. It shuts down the timer motor as well so it won’t make it to the on tab and turn itself back on. Wondering if the motor wires are backwards. Would it matter..

      Usually the motor on the back of the timer is bad a replacement motor on it is the fix.

    Have you ever seen a timer that stops at a certain time we have a brand new timer that stops at 6 am every morning and that's when it should come on but it just stops it will turn off but the timer stops at the on time any ideas

    • @ClearlySeen
      @ClearlySeen  Рік тому +1

      If the time is set correctly and you have a on and off tripper set if the timer stops working and it’s not because of the trip or that’s causing it to go off like normal. Sounds like it might be an electrical issue.

      It sounds like it could just be a gear issue. You can buy the whole section that comes with the gearbox.

      If it’s not maintaining the proper time then it will be the motor on the back of the timer dial. If it is keeping time then it’s going to be the trippers that need to be replaced

      If you have a variable speed pump, you would need to turn it on at the pump if you do not have a variable speed pump I would make sure you’re getting power to the timer and if you are, this could be a issue with your motor

    • @ClearlySeen
      @ClearlySeen  4 роки тому

      It could be a programming issue on your motor if you have a variable speed pump. The motor could be over heating is another probability. You can check the timer and depending on which one you have I would make sure you only have 1 on tripper and 1 off tripper. If it’s a variable speed pump I would go into the settings and check the scheduling.

      The motor that’s on the back of the timer could be on its way out. One other thing that could be an Issue make sure you’re on and off tripper isn’t bent if is in would recommend replacing them with new ones from the pool store.

      I would recommend checking to see if the current time is being kept. If the arrow pointing at the time doesn’t move then it’s the timer motor. I would assume the on and off trippers are already on.
