Direct Drive Timer - 120V 60Hz

remove two screws that hold down top piece that holds timer. [screws are at each end] pull the top peice foward[ toward front of washer] just about 1 inch,then flip it up so you can see back of timer,pull out black tab that holds timer knob [with the tweesers],remove knob and dial unplug the wiring remove the screw under timer knob raise clip on the side of timer so it will slide toward left side remove timer. reverse instructions to install. PS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG WASHER FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First repair was easy, remove center bolt, pull up on agitator and replace entire unit as one piece, replace bolt and liquid dispenser.

Second repair was more difficult in that I could not immediately find the release to remove timer control. After removing 5 screws unnecessaryily and studying unit more closely, tried prying up on little tab that has a "+" symbol on it that locks into a little hole. While holding up on that tab, slide timer unit sideways and unit falls out of washer panel. Simply slide the new unit in and it locks in place.

Also the directions to remove the knob were convienently printed on the orginal and replacement timer, but an ARROW pointing to the black tab on rear of the timer control would be helpful as I mistook the tab to be on the front side under the knob from studing the replacement and tried to pull the smaller inter knob off in order to push it in to release the larger outside knob portion in order to disconnect the timer. No harm done, eventually figured it out, but it still didn't fix the problem. As the washer will EVENTUALLY go in the spin cycle without picking up and dropping the lid, I'm assuming the lid switch is defective, although it appears to work otherwise. Any other possible soulutions appreciated.

Pulled washer out. Removed two top panel screws. Removed panel and removed timer. Reinstalled in reverse order.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires...)

REMOVED CONTROL KNOBS FROM FRONT (SMALL ONES PULL OFF LEAVE LARGE ONE IN PLACE FOR NOW). REMOVE 2 SCREWS FROM BACK AND REMOVE 2 NUTDRIVERS SCREWS FROM BACK AND LIFT TOP UP. REMOVE LARGE KNOB INSTRUCTIONS ON TIMER. REMOVE WIRING PLUG AND 2 SCREWS FROM UNDER THE KNOB. PUT NEW TIMER IN PLACE ATTACH WITH SCREWS. PLUG WIRING INTO TIMER. RE INSTALL THE BACK WITH 4 SCREWS. ONCE TOP IN PLACE RE INSTALL THE SMALL KNOBS. JOB COMPLETE.

I took the top off with the two screws that were hidden in the back, then it was a breeze, replaced the timer and it still did not operate, she had also broke the lid switch trying to made it work. I was inpressed that she wanted to do the wash so bad. thanks for having the parts in stock.......

First, i checked to see if the motor was bad. I moved the selector switch to spin, to see if it would drain the tub. After a couple minutes, it not only drained, but the motor started the spin cycle....motor not bad. Tilted the washer forward and saw 2 screws to remove the control cover. Instructions to remove the timer was on the back. Smelled the timer and same odor. Ordered new part and reverse assembly. Set to light wash load and let it cycle. OK !!

Watched how to video and couldnt have been easier. Both repairs made in less than hour. Also doing work myself saved me a "load" of money by not having to call repair man.
