Good evening everybody! I noticed last night that during the rinse cycle, my washer skipped the motor pause after neutral drain and went directly to the spray rinse, meaning the washer never kicked into spin -- I had to lift and close the lid for that to happen. This only occurred once in three loads, but this tells me it's time (har-har) to replace the timer.

Fortunately, I have a new unboxed timer stashed in the bedroom closet, ready for just such an occasion -- I took the advice of several folks on here and bought one when I first acquired the machine.

This looks like a fairly simple job and I'd like to try to do it myself if I can. I can get my bro-in-law to come do it, but he lives in Ohio and we'd have to work out a time that would work well for both of us. Would someone here be willing to provide me written, step-by-step instructions on how to do this? Obviously, Youtube videos don't really help me due to my vision issues, but I believe I can follow written instructions if they are clear enough. I'm perfectly aware this might be over my head due to my blindness, but I would like to at least attempt it.

Timer part number that I have is WP8546685.

Thanks,

Ryne
