KDS-16 Timer needed

[marksman]

The timer on my machine keeps stopping. I keep the front bottom cover off and can restart it with a tap of a screwdriver on the motor puck.

Are these serviceable? Can I take it out and clean it with something?

Are they available? Does anyone have a part number or even better,
does anyone have a spare for sale?

Thanks
Rick

Part # is 4160744 NLA from Whirlpool. You might find one on Ebay or the web.

Thanks.
A quick search shows that that timer is not very easy to come by.

Most of the timers seem to have the same timer motor.
Does anyone know if there is a generic timer motor that can be fitted into this timer?

Thanks again
Rick

KDS-16 TIMER

Is it just the timer motor you need and which timer motor there two one regular speed and the rapid advance motor. There are also two different KDS-16s the later machine has the soak cycle instead of the heavy wash cycle and they have different timers. Let me know I may have good used parts you also may be able to send the complete timer to Mid-West timer for repair.

They will rebuild certain timers you have to call and they will let you know if it is one that they still have parts for.

First, next to the "Full Cycle" button is "Heavy Soil" button. So I assume I have the earlier model?

Inside the front/bottom cover, facing out, is a 2 inch diameter by 3/4 thick timer motor that says Schiller Controls on it. It is a bit rusty on one side.

The dishwasher occasionally wouldn't start. A slight tap on that motor starts the machine. I think it is getting worse. The washer has stopped at times while running. Again, a slight tap gets it going.

Does that sound like the rapid advance or regular timer motor?

Thanks
