it definetely pauses, and drains for anywhere between 2 and 5 seconds. it just stops, then a few seconds later it fills then washes again. I'm guessing it's not supposed to partial drain ever! |

I checked your profile but it did not say what model machine we are talking about. Can you tell us..Maybe we can troubleshoot it better? |

I don't think there's anything out there with a step-by-step breakdown for complete cycle times. Some owners manuals will describe the sequence of action but will only provide number of minutes for the entire cycle to complete.
Perhaps sales literature would have it. Otherwise service instructions might be another possible source, if you can get your hands on them. Don't give up on your Monterey no matter how much flack you may be enduring over it. It's very fixable. Your wife's friends will be jealous of that machine, I guarantee her. |

The top panel comes apart fairly easily. The two ends unscrew as does the strip across the top. I think you'll have to remove upper screws from the door's tub liner for some of this stuff -- maybe the ends. The panel cover will have some screws holding it in place, which are probably below on either side of the handle opening.
Once those items are off, you'll be able to get at the timer. On my ISE Classic Supreme, the wires from timer to selector panel are all marked with matching ID's as those for the tabs they connect onto, which made for carefree disconnection and quick, easy reconnecting, but that's only going to help if you have the exact replacement timer. Otherwise, mark wires as needed in case there are discrepancies between the two. If your detergent dispenser is operating properly I see no reason to replace it. The job can be done with the control panel in place, so it's not like you're missing out on an opportunity. |
