WH12X10527 Washing Machine Timer

About the Timer

On some washing machine models, a timer is used to determine when voltage is to be sent to the washer's electrical components. A faulty timer may not be sending power to the drain pump during the drain cycle. You can inspect the timer for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test for incoming power to the drain pump after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram. If no voltage is present when the washer is in the drain cycle, it's likely the timer is defective and will need to be replaced.
