Is this for a 208 or 608? Your subject title indicates 208 but your post indicates 608. My link above is for a 608 model.

Kingston and Mallory timers are interchangeable if they are the same PT #, the Kingston timers have a better feel when you set them, the Mallory timers are more dependable.
This was one of MTs biggest * reliability problems in the 60s through the 80s, they finely got better in the 1990s when they booted out more of the crappy electrical parts from 2nd rate suppliers.
* Westinghouse W&D motors, Roberetshaw inlet valves in the 70s, Robertshaw dryer timers in the 70s, we used to catch quite an earful when we had to tell a customer that her 3 YO A606 needed a new motor at a total cost of around $100 back in 1976 after they had already paid a $100 premium to buy the washer in the first place.

I managed to get the timer reassembled today and installed on the machine. Everything seems to be working as it should. Note - it won't agitate without a load of water or jumping the water level switch. Thank you! |

You are right; the water level switch has to be satisfied before agitation will begin.
I remember Fergus Falls from Rocky and Bullwinkle. |
