I then removed the drain hose from the wall drain to allow me to turn the washer to gain access to the the back panel.
From the front, I then removed the plastic timer knob from the timer by unscrewing it. Then I pulled the plastic plate with the arrow on it to re ... Read more move it. This exposed the screws that attached the timer to the control panel. I left them attached.
I then removed the two screws on the bottom of the front of the control panel (on each end) that attach the control panel to the washer.
I then went to the rear of the washer and removed the two screws on the top of the rear of the control panel.
I went back to the front and pulled the control panel forward and up to release it from the washer.
I then removed the two screws (that were under the plastic plate) that attached the timer to the panel and removed the timer from the panel.
Then I unplugged the wiring harness from the timer and removed the timer completely.
From there I reversed the procedure to install the new timer and knob.
Once the knob is off, remove the dial with the pointer on it and set it aside.
With this done, remove the three hex screws on the back of the control panel. Then lift the plastic control panel up, then forward. This will allow you to lay the control panel on the top of the machine.
Remove the wire harness by lifting up on the retainer and pulling on the harness. Grip the harness not the wires. The harness seats with a good grip so you'll need to work it a little.
Remove the single retaining screw that holds the timer unit to the control panel. Once the screw is removed TWIST the timer unit to remove it. The timer is held in place by two retaining "prongs" that you will break off if you try to pull the timer off the control panel. Once free of the retaining prongs, the timer is off the control panel and you are ready to replace with the new one.
Install is the reverse of what you just did.
When you get to putting the knob back on don't forget to put the dial with the arrow back on first. This only goes on one way but it takes a pretty good push to get it to seat. Next, put the nylon retaining clip on the knob such that it's barely on and slip the knob on the timer post only to the point where you see the slot in the knob and the slot on the post line up. When the two slots are aligned, use the blade of the flathead screw driver to push the nylon clip into place.
Reseat and align the control panel, replace the three screws, plug the unit back in and you can watch the game while the little lady gets back to her washing. :) Just kidding ladies.
This is an easy repair that anyone can do with only a couple hand tools and a little patience. Getting the knob off is the hardest part and a little finesse will work better than brute force.
Have fun, you can do it.

I set the arrow on the dial to "off"
Hardest part was removing and reinstalling the spring-loaded plastic knob on the dial.
Popped off the central disk, dropped the retaining spring clip with a screw driver and removed the spring assembly and dial from the timer shaft, in sequence. (Re ... Read more peated this process to install, after new timer was mounted).
Two top screws hold the face plate and two hex nuts hold timer in the mointing.
the timer's lectrical plug and scocket hook up was simple.
I thought calibrating the new timer could be a problem but a permanet pin in the timer shaft points to the cycle (when installed) even when the arrow knob is removed.
