Thank you for pointing out my error about the owner’s manual (I potentially could have purchased the wrong part!) When I opened my machine and saw the 3946448 number I was confused and afraid I could short out the wiring if I had purchased the 3946449 timer, hence I came to make a posting here...

I did take a look at the timer and use a can of compressed air to blow any dust or debris that might be lodged in it. The machine is pretty clean since about 3 years ago I replaced the tub seal, drive block, spanner nut, the lid switch, snub pads, tub springs, and agitator dogs, then gave the...

Hello all, I have a 1994 Whirlpool direct drive top load washer that was leaking and this week replaced the tub seal (and drive block too). The leak fortunately was fixed but now during the spin cycle the basket bangs the outer cabinet even when the machine is empty. There’s no unusual noises...
