Help!

I have an old Maytag A207 washing machine. I think that there is something wrong with the timer, because although the machine fills up fine, I have to manually switch it through the cycles for it to work. I am very fond of this machine. She is a quirky old gal and I am really quite attached to her (I bought her used and have had her for twenty four years).

I have checked out the price of timers online and these are about 15o dollars. Is there any way I can get a generic timer which will work just as well? Also, is this a repair that a layperson can do easily?

Thanks for your help.

Liz

Sounds like a bad timer motor. It could be the escapement, but they usually hold up pretty well. Depending on your skills using a multimeter, we may be able to narrow down the problem. If not, I can give you a part# for a new timer. They usually pop up quite often on ebay for reasonable prices.

I checked on line and it shows your timer as a 204454, if you have the "Permanent Press" cycle. However, online info has been wrong far too many times to trust it, so I'll peek at my microfiche slides to confirm. If you pop the console cover off (2 screws and it lefts off), there should be a part # on the timer body that will start with a "2"

If you can get the part# off the timer, I probably have a used one. It can be your's for shipping.
