If the spin cycle on a twin-tub washing machine does not start or stops early, the timer is one possible cause. Check the safety switch, wiring and motor before replacing parts.

Timer function

The spin timer controls the duration of the spin cycle. Timer specifications, terminals, mounting and time range vary by model.

Fault symptoms

  • Timer does not advance correctly.
  • Spin tub does not start.
  • Cycle duration is inconsistent.

These symptoms are not conclusive evidence of a faulty timer.

Before buying

  2. Match connector layout, mounting, time range and appliance model.
  3. Verify stock and compatibility before ordering.
