Hi,
Does anybody know where I can get a working plastic 'clamshell' timer for my GE WWA8500 washer? Rebuild? Part of the internal plastic arm that presses on the contact bars snapped off, and it's pointless to try to glue it because of the amount of stress on it. Is there a newer replacement timer that will fit and have the same cycles? (I also really don't want to mess around rewiring the harness at the switch.) Since I once worked as a Honda mechanic I keep fixing this old machine (I'm not a collector) because I think it's a great machine. Thanks for any help.

Check Ebay and local appliance parts dealers

The ebay link below may be the same one.

 

Sears still has them new for about $85.00:

I guessed at your model since you didn't post the whole number.  You should be able to find a timer for this washer without too much trouble.

Andrew,
I was able to get a pin guide from one of the members here for my clamshell timer, so all is now well. Thanks for the heads up on where parts are still available, since I'll continue to fix and use this machine till the transmission blows up!
