The Whirlpool WP8579446 Washing Machine Timer controls the timing of selected wash cycles. It advances through each stage of the cycle, coordinating washer operation according to the selected setting. Designed for compatible Whirlpool washers, this replacement timer provides a proper fit and restores normal cycle control when the original timer is worn or unresponsive. https://www.hnkparts.com/whirlpool-wp8579446-washing-machine-timer
