Here’s the thing about automatic washer timers from my experience. The contacts don’t really seem to wear out (they can) but the cam assembly however, will wear down at some point. If you can find a company that can 3D print a new cam assembly along with a spare timer motor(s), you’ll be set for decades. Just those 2 things alone can resurrect a timer back to life.

1956 Kenmore washer timer
This was a very good timer back in its day, but it is nearly 70 years old, I would spray the cams with a good quality, silicone, lubricant and use of very light oil on any metal to metal parts. And hope it keeps working.
The company that made this timer became controls corporation, and made very good timers, the part number that begins with an S does change to a newer number I have a book at work that converts those numbers and you could search the converted number. I’ll try to look when I get to work. How much do you intend to use this washer if you’re going to use it a lot I would install two power relays for the high and low speed of the motor to keep contacts from burning other than that you just have to worry about the timer motor and the escapement etc. John | ||
