Kenmore 110 not filling. Seems to be timer push pull switch. Anyone had success fixing it?

Kenmore 110.22642100. Sometimes nothing happens when I pull the switch, sometimes it'll fill for a second then stop. If I pull the timer knob out hard and keep holding it, it usually keeps filling. That's also the only time the continuity tests good.

Continuity of pressure switch, water valve, water temp switch and water level switch all test good. Pressure switch test where you blow into the hose also tested good.

I just put in a used transmission and now a few loads later this happened.

Timer contacts. The cover on the timer can be removed and contacts inspected. Look for burned contacts or a contact arm that may need to be bent back into place.

Probably a bad timer, doesn’t make any difference if you try filling it on hot water?

If the timer on your washer is white plastic body, it is not really repairable look for another timer.

I’ve had a problem with my Whirlpool Mark 18 where it would randomly stop when filling (this happened on various cycles), would push the knob back in and pull it back out and would continue to fill as intended. Looked into it, timer contacts weren’t really pitted. Turns out, the master switch would pop out ever so slightly stopping it on the fill portion. Removed the timer, added a couple drops of oil and lubricated the cam assembly and was back in business. Not an issue since then, works as intended.

It can be repaired.

Thank you everyone! I removed the knob and sprayed some Deoxit in around the stem and in around the little black plastic piece and it's working now.

I have another variant of this timer that I'll open up to see how it works in case this one stops working and I want to try and fix it.
