Whirlpool part question

[restorer]

I have a 28 year old WP washer model# LA5580XSW0. I am looking for a replacement timer, my part list show the part number is 334776 but i found a timer online with the part number being 334776A. What does the A mean? And could i use 334776A in my washer without any trouble? Thank you all for your HELP

You are missing a digit

The full part number for the timer is 3347766. There is at least four of them right now on eBay.

thanks but what does the A stand for. i bought one already but the one i got has the A at the end 3347766A

I think the timer with the A on the end will work.

The timer on our LDA-7800 was replaced some years-in due to the low-speed circuit going bad.  The replacement had a one-stage cool down on Perm Press (partial drain, refill, agitate, presumably for water saving purposes) whereas the original was two-stage (partial drain, refill, agitate, partial drain, refill, agitate).  Perhaps the "A" designation is related to that programming change.  Knit had a one stage cool down on both the original and replacement timer.
