Possible, BUT unlikely, You may want to hire a PRO, If you just change the timer, and its NOT the problem, you have wasted your money!!!!

If you tap on the heater, and it comes on, Its either a funky acting thermostat OR the Heating element!!!!! Remove the heating element and look at it VERY CLOSELY!!! I think you will find a break in the element!!!! (when you tap on it the break closes up enough to heat for a second):)
