In search of a timer

Help Support :
Wiring diagram is usually pasted to the outer tub. remove the 2 screws at the bottom about 3 inches from the floor (they face downward pointing to the floor. Swing the bottom panel out to release the clips from the top edge. You should see the schematic pasted to the outer tub facing you. Check the left and right sides of the timer for terminals....also check where the mounting holes are for the timer screws...there are sometimes terminals there too. Which color wire of wire # is it? Hope this helps!
Does this machine have a pilot light? I show 2 different schematics, one with and one without a pilot light. None of my big manuals have the schematics, it's one of my small ones. The scan will come out pretty freakin small. Hope you can zoom in on the scan. I haven't quite learned how to blow pics up from a scan yet.
Ah hell, I'll just scan both models. No biggie.

Thank you for the scans
I was able to copy and enlarge them. After understanding what went were I was able to figure it out. There was one heavily insulated grey wire that come to find out was the line ground for the timer. Was able to find the terminal for that along with the terminal for the cycles which was on a seperate block attached to the timer. Hooked it all up and did a test run and the machine runs like new again. Yeah!! Thanks to everyone for their input. She is very happy her old maytag is up and running again. Her daughter and 2 grandchildren just arrived yesterday to spend the summer with her, so it will be getting a good workout.
Thanks

He should be able to replace the timer easily on that machine. The new one only took 4 days to arrive from ordering.I did find the wiring diagram as we were putting the console back together. It was on the back wall of the console. Package up looked like new. Good luck snowgirl with your project.

What's it doing, that you suspect the lid switch?
it's doing the same thing described earlier in this thread...agitates as soon as i start it up...but i do suspect it's the timer, it doesn't seem to be advancing to the next cycle..it only goes so far, then i need to move it to spin, rinse, etc. will have hubby read through this next week, when he goes on vacation. again...thank you all for the help, i love my old maytag, and would rather not replace it.

The Permanent Press,Gentle and Regular buttons on an A406 have nothing to do with wash or spin speed, as this is stricktly a one speed washer.
The buttons report to the timer, not the motor, and tell it how long to agitate or pause and how long to spin or how to partial spin and refill as in perm press cooldown. A really good machine, a fabric matic, but not a two speed.
