Is your laundry day on pause because
0:01
your washer timer won't budge? Let's get
0:04
it working again. First things first,
0:06
safety comes first. Always unplug your
0:09
washer before you begin. Now, let's
0:11
check if your timer is really the
0:13
problem. If your Kenmore washer won't
0:15
move to the next cycle or just stops,
0:18
the timer could be to blame. But
0:20
sometimes it's just a loose knob. Try
0:23
turning it slowly. If it's stuck or
0:26
feels wobbly, the timer might need
0:28
attention. Next, remove the control
0:31
panel. Most Kenmore washers have screws
0:35
at the back. Unscrew them and gently
0:37
lift the panel. You'll see the timer, a
0:40
round part with wires connected. Check
0:42
if the wires are loose. If so, push them
0:45
back in. Still not working? You might
0:48
need to replace the timer. Take a
0:50
picture of where the wires go before you
0:52
remove anything. Then, unplug the wires,
0:55
unscrew the timer, and swap in a new
0:57
one. Reconnect everything. Screw the
0:59
panel back and plug in your washer. Give
1:02
it a test run. If your Kenmore washer
1:04
now works, you've done it. If not, it
1:07
might be time to call a pro. But for
1:10
many homeowners, this simple fix can
1:12
save time and money. Good luck.
