Servis 'Caress' wash mach. timer does not advance.
Servis Washing Machine model Caress 1000 'A'.
This machine has a electromechanical type timer control which has ceased to advance the wash cycle. The machine is still usable -after a fashion- by manually advancing the control knob after each stage of the wash. All aspects of the wash cycle appear to function normally, but as may be imagined, having to continually return to the machine to advance the timer is extremely frustrating. Nothing has been attempted yet but removing the timer and applying oil to the timer motor bearings- if accessible- has been suggested, but is this likely to provide a solution as the timer does not advance at all -not just stiff or slow. Is there a solution other than buying a new timer control? Would that be throwing good money after bad? P.S I'm posting for a friend at another location so won't be able to carry out any immediate checks. Roger R |

On my washing machine, this was due to stuff getting in behind the dial, and clogging it up. Is it stiffer than it once was to turn? Spraying with wd40 and rotating a few dozen times worked till I dissasembled and cleaned it properly. |
