There is a stong electrical smell coming from the timer. I removed it and can’t see why its smells. This just started a few days ago. The washer runs through it’s entire cycle. I’m worried about a potential fire. Should I replace the timer (around $100) or buy a new dishwasher?
Sorry your model number does not come up.
Please check it as it does not look like a Maytag number.
Could be it is very very old and there is not info available.
If it is very old you may be better off buying a new dishwasher.
As long as you are sure it is the timer that is smelling and you are considering replacing it, I would remove it from the unit and take it apart so you can confirm that it is the cause.
If yes then it may be worth while replacing.
If no then I would get a new unit.
