I fixed the washing machine today. The timer wouldn't always advance during the wash cycle.
Now that I know how it comes apart I could have changed the timer/switch assy in < 10 minutes.
Having to fiddle with it and watch a few YouTube videos made it take 45 minutes or so.
Anyway, I decided to take apart the old one to see how this thing works. Pretty neat little piece of engineering. A few moving parts, but no circuit boards. Just the way I like it. I suspect these worn contacts are the culprit, but I am too lazy to try to decipher the schematic to know for sure.
