I did mine and it was not hard. You need to pop the chrome cap off center of dial to get it off. Make sure you make diagram of where wires go. POWER OFF |

A picture would indeed help identify the style timer as some were a clam shell and some were not. Anyway, what you can do is get a volt meter (set to ac) and check power at the timer motor leads. Find the two black wires coming from the timer motor, usually a silverish round shape, and follow them to the terminals on the timer body. Turn on the washer (either wash or spin). Once the washer fills then starts agitating, put your meter leads at the timer motor wires at their terminals. You should be getting line voltage. If you're not, most likely it's timer time. If you are, you probably only need to replace the timer motor, which isn't that hard. That's where the picture of the timer comes in handy because then the method of timer motor removal can be determined. About 75-85% of the 'no advance' complaints I see on those older Maytags are just timer motors. RCD |

A clamshell timer. The timer motor is a simple thing to change on this one. You still gotta see if it's the timer or just the motor. On this timer, there should be a couple of plastic advance arms that the timer motor moves to advance the timer, so possible idea #3 is the timer motor advances but the movement arms do not properly engage the timer cam to move it. Still not a total disaster. Soooo... you gotta see what it is... RCD |
