[glomain]

hi guys, ive got a 1-18 model wc-6 serial#80ec139,yesterday filled for rince when timer advanced to thump mode the timer made that electric sizzle & quit. can any one tell me where 2 get a new or rebuilt timer? its the washer in my profile pic, thanks

One Question, does the timer still advance?  Do any other functions on it work?

 

[glomain]

no, but if you turn the water level up 2 reset it will put more water in,till you turn back down & the water will shut off,then nothing

I bought this off a member up in Detroit about 3 yrs. ago all I remember is his name is ken,dont know if he is still a member or had any parts 4 this machine

 

[joelippard]

Sounds like it's toasted.  Timers are not my specialty but if it were me I'd try taking it apart and find out what happened in there, see if you can repair it yourself.    If you do that be sure you mark each wire so you know how to hook it back up.

 

I'm also not sure about any companies that do rebuilds any longer.  Hopefully someone who knows more than I will chime in here.

joe

thank ya.

Yeah, he's still around.

Ken in Detroit here. Unless there's another member named Ken in Detroit, that must have been me. I vaguely remember selling one (that happens as you get older). I'm glad it's been OK for three years, and wish I could help you with a replacement timer, but I don't have much in the way of parts. If I did have a replacement for you, I'd send it postage paid in a "magic minute". Too bad the GM warranty expired about forty years ago!
I hope you can repair it and/or find another one to use. Best of luck. I'll bet someone out there has one for you.

Try www.davesrepair.com in Pennsylvania. He had the replacement part I needed in December for a 1-18 and used to work on them in the 70s so he may have what you need.

Wasn't there a thread on here within the last year about someone who re-wires timers? I thought I read about it on here.
