Well, my glued pinion gear finally bit the dust.

So, I'm looking for either the timer motor, or just the rotor
assembly. Yeah, good luck getting only that!

I believe it is part number 204663 here:

But am not sure about the series.

If anyone has one in their junk box or a recommended inexpensive
supplier, please post back here.

Any info appreciated.

I never had any luck finding a replacement, these seem to be custom made for
the particular timer.

Just glue the gear again, or mold a new one out of epoxy putty, it held up a
long time after the last time you did it.

A couple years I guess. But now the pinion disintegrated. And how much
is my time worth. Yeah, $0.00/hour, I know. :) The Web site above seems
to have it for $38 which might be considered a rip-off but there is some
merit to being able to just drop in a replacement. ;-)

In a pinch a new timer could be made with a counter/timer chip and a relay.
If you want to adapt a ready made solution, I've got a few microwave oven
control boards you can have if you want :)

Well, this controls all the various solenoids, main motor, etc. If it
were a dryer, I might be inclined to do some sort of kludge!

Thanks.
