Product review (4 stars): This is a bad design, and you need to break it off ...
I will say for the price you can't go wrong. But on the smaller white switch they only use one screw to hold it down and a piece of plastic to hold the other side down. This is a bad design, and you need to break it off and replace it with another screw to save a service call back. Cause mind broke and that is what I had to do. One other thing I would like to point out as in the machine I had trouble with. Most of the time when they won't start the motor, it's usually a fault in the lid switch. But in this case the motor would come on spontaneously and it took me about eight hours looking for the problem. First even though I had the schematic it was difficult to diagnose because I would see power at the motor with my meter. But the motor just would not come on. So it was diving me crazy! But I would just turn the machine on and let it go and watch the timer with lid closed. Again all of a sudden the motor would come on and do its job. So I really started to suspect the timer controller. Now the good thing about timer is that it has a plastic cover that is easy to pull apart so you can see the cams in action. And as I watched the contacts being flipped, I noticed a spark in the the third contact counting down. So I took my writing pen out of my pocket cause it's plastic and would not conduct electricity, and pushed down on that contact, and the motor came on, BINGO, I FOUND IT! So again I took my pen and bent down the contact metal support arm to force it tighter to the mating contact, then stood back and watched the timer in action. As the cam keep going around and lift the contact the motor would stop. But as it would continue and drop down again the motor would activate. Problem solved. Now these Maytag washer machines where the best machines ever built, and I would assume that these timers last the test of time cause I should not find a replacement. I did see companies that would rebuild your older one. But my guess these companies don't really replace anything they just bend the supports like I did and charge $75.00 just because people believe they are too complicated to look into. I will admit that for the most part, I'm usually very good at getting these machines up and running. But this one really brought on the game. Even though it took me a while to find the problem, I'm proud that I didn't give up, and stayed with it until I got it working.
