The timer push/pull switch:
The timer push/pull switch is activated when you
pull out or push in the timer knob. This switch is
inside of the timer and controls the complete timer.
If this switch is not closing when you pull the
timer knob out, the washer is not going to do
anything at all.
This is the procedure to
check the timer push/pull switch
- Disconnect the washer
from the wall outlet
- Set the timer on the
beginning of a cycle and pull the knob
to turn the timer on
- Open the controls panel
- Set your multimeter on
the lowest scale to read ohms
- Take a reading between
the black wire on the cord connecting block and
the violet wire coming out of the timer or on
the wire harness on the water level switch
-
The reading
should be 0 ohms, if the reading is infinity,
the timer push/pull switch is bad and you will
need to replace the complete timer assembly
A bad timer push/pull switch could be the reason
that your Whirlpool washer won't start.
