When the control knob is engaged there is a clicking sound which appears to be coming from inside the control panel a little to the left of the control knob. Also there is a faint humming sound either at the same point as the clicking or a little to the left. Capacitor? I have received some much needed help from this forum in the past and hope to get some advise on the current problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Bill

I checked the lid switch and it works mechanically and is secured soundly to the cabinet. The clicking noise is similar to that of a stripped plastic gear/cog. There is no movement visible to the outer casing of the timer. Replace the timer?
