Eric,

I just got back from Florida on a business trip. I was able to get a decent photo of the wiring diagram, attached.

I gave the diagram the once over, and it seems the timer is the next logical item to replace.

Order placed with AppliancePartsPros earlier today.

The agitater is not moving the full quarter turn, it only moves a few inches and then you hear the clunky/clicky noise.

I neglected to add that the drive tube assembly was replaced with a new FSP part during this repair, and made no difference.

When and if I get this machine working again, it should last another 10 years with all the new parts, plus I have a ton of parts that weren't bad to use as spares. I just want clean clothes and not have to go to the laundromat!

Eric,

I ordered the timer Friday in the morning, and Saturday morning the FedeX man was ringing my doorbell! Super fast shipping, thank you!

Took about 10 minutes to swap out the timer. You called this one, and I thank you kindly.

I couldn't believe the timer was causing this issue, so I had to disassemble the old timer. There is a round stack of cams that trigger the electrical contacts with a series of ramps and drop offs. Several of these ramps broke off and was preventing the electrical contacts from making and breaking.

I ran 8 loads through the machine this weekend, and it ran perfectly. Smooth, quiet, and for the most part, brand new.

Thank you again,

Jim
