You have to replace it the new part. - The part number for the timer is AP2039699 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for GE GSD2020Z02BB | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

Very likely there is a reversed polarity: the neutral from the power cord is connected to the dishwasher hot and the hot from the power cord is connected to the dishwasher neutral. Gene.

If so, look for a shorted wire near the timer. You probably will need a meter to check where the shorted wire is.

The reason I ask is often people buy or are given a unit and someone has gone in and messed up the wiring. Do you have a wiring diagram? If yes could you scan it and add it to a post? Disconnect the timer, now is it activated?
