WP3948357 - Whirlpool Washer Timer

This Whirlpool Washer Timer (WP3948357) is a genuine part for Whirlpool washing machines. It's designed to sequence washing machine cycles and ensure safety limits on operation. The timer engages switches through an advancing motor cam shaft at the proper intervals for filling, washing, rinsing, and spinning. It also features maximum runtimes to prevent the machine from operating endlessly due to malfunctions. Jammed timers, which cause the machine to run continuously, require a prompt replacement. This timer is also known as "TIMER-EMERSON VARIFLEX." Symptoms that your timer may be failing include machines that won't advance through cycles or continuously run without stopping. To remedy such issues, replacing the timer with this part can restore the reliable, fully automatic washing operation of your appliance. Before purchasing, please verify your device's model number for compatibility.
