Dishwasher timer repair

The timer on a dishwasher is located behind the cycle control knob in the control panel. It has a small electric motor inside which advances the control knob and rotates cams inside the timer. The electro-mechanical components inside are turned on and off by the cams. These components include the wash pump, drain pump, water inlet valve and heating element. Replacing the timer is not a hard job to do, but it should be made sure that it is only replaced with a manufacturer approved replacement part. A timer needs to be changed when it doesn't advance or if the cams don't turn properly. Our experts can see the damage and let you know what needs to be repaired or replaced.
