We have a two setting (regular and Perma Press) radial dial control
Maytag top load Model A206 washing machine. The timer wore out after
25 years (clock motor would not engage control unit). We replaced the
timer with a new OEM timer. The washing machine control now advances
through the wash cycle, but is not synchronized with the visual timer
settings (i.e. start, agitate, spin, rinse, etc) on the dial. The dial
itself has a fixed position bayonet mount so there is no room for
adjustment. Is there a way to reset the control dial to the correct
start point? Thank you for your time and insight.

Hi,

Any chance the wrong timer mounting holes where used? This can make the
dial approx 1/4-3/8 of an inch off.

Thank you. No, there is only one set of two mounting holes and the
Regular Wash dial setting is off by one-fourth of the dial's
circumference. The rinse cycle terminates in the second half of the
spin dry cycle and the spin (damp) dry cycle overlaps and terminates in
the fourth minute of the 8 minute Permanent Press wash/agitate cycle.
The timer is the correct part number and all electric stubs have
numbers which match the original OEM.

Yes. The old part was 204454 and the new part is the same number. Two
or three tabs have been moved from the back to the front of the timer,
but the stub numbers match. Timer lines up motor on left the same as
original and all stubs line up north and south as original.

Leaves us with:
- wrong dial was used at one point
- timer is bad

Maybe the old timer can be rebuilt instead of installing a new
timer?http://www.applianceaid.com/timer_repairs.html
