Replace Washing Machine Timer

Relax as I replace the timer in my old Maytag clothes washer. I’ve had this washing machine for probably twenty years and this will be the first time the timer has had to be replaced. The problem that the washing machine was having was that sometimes it would not spin all of the water out of a load of clothes. The timer knob would be on “stop” but there would still be water in the washtub. During my investigation I discovered that the washtub wasn’t spinning when it was supposed to and that if I jiggled the timer knob, sometimes it would start to spin, otherwise it would do nothing and the timer would continue to run until the cycle was complete. I knew right then that some contacts within the timer had failed. I ordered a timer (which amazingly arrived the next day) and in this video I’ll do my first ever washing machine timer replacement. The label on my timer said MAYTAG 6 2083460. When I was looking for a replacement, I discovered that Whirlpool part number 22001255 was what I needed. The new timer came in a Whirlpool box with "22001255" on it, but the timer itself said MAYTAG and had the same part number on it as mine. Be sure to take a minute and level your washer while you're at it. In a future video I will take apart the old washing machine timer just to see the bad contacts and to salvage the low RPM timer motor for use in an undetermined future project. Many of you like and request “chore” videos and I’m happy to make them when the chore lends itself well to being videoed. Whether this particular chore proves to be one worthy of a video will become evident soon after I make it public. We shall see. A little about what it is I’m doing in my videos: If you are wondering why am I whispering or talking in a soft tone, it’s because; this video is an ASMR relaxation video. What is ASMR? You can see for yourself by visiting the link at the very bottom of this page and reading about ASMR for yourself. The videos on my You Tube channel portray some of the typical day-to-day things that I do for relaxation, as well my never ending chores. This video was produced with relaxation in mind and hopefully has some ASMR qualities. Stress is harmful to your well-being and in today's fast-passed world, stress management is important, and so I hope this ASMR video in some way acts as a stress-reliever for those watching, as well as a sleep-aid for anyone having a difficult time going to sleep.
