If determined to be the problem, changing timer is easy. No need to be intimidated. The hard part is the secret mystery latches holding the case together and our guys here can talk you through that. Start by unplugging the machine.
Once you have access, just pull one wire at a time off the old timer and put it on exactly the same place on the new one. I did it when I was 9yo with no instructions or adult supervision.
The hard part then becomes, mom will want you to fix the Betamax and the air on her 85 Buick. |

Dustin, First, you need to provide the model number of the machine. Next, WP DD machines provide very easy access to the timer by removing a couple screws and flipping the entire console upwards and back. The location of said screws may vary. Removing the timer knob and skirt may be easy as unscrewing the knob. Later timer designs have a lock-pin on the back that is released to remove the knob. Wires typically are banked into plug-in connectors although there may be a single or two. I have a 2002 DD in my living room, can easily provide how-to pictures based on it. |
