Got a Kenmore dishwasher that quit on me. Seems the timer does not move on its own anymore. Is this difficult to replace? Need any "special" tools or anything?
Thanks, Sarge

model# helps.
If the timer is not moving at all, confirm the timer is receiving
110-120 volts AC to the timer motor....if yes and no movement = new timer or get your old timer rebuilt time.Not normally overly difficult at all ( power off first ) and no special tools normally required :)

Hi Jeff, Model # is 363.1404896 and timer # is WD21X0776. Power is getting to the timer. Thanks for the reply.
Way out of warranty so for what Sears would charge to come out, I could buy a new one. The part is only $53.00.
I meant call service and try asking how difficult it might be...
Ohhhhh! Hey, good idea.. I suppose someone down there might give me some info. Sorry, I totally misunderstood you.
Hi,
A GE built Kenmore d/w.

commonly used in GE brands dishwashers.
Timer knob will pull straight off, remove inner door liner ( all screws around the outer edge ) to access the timer. It should have 2-3 screws holding it in place and there will be a cam gear on the old timer that will have to be taken off and reinstalled on the new timer, the cam gear just pulls off and pushes back on.
