Intermatic Timer Not Working

[faby3003]

When I opened my pool this spring my Intermatic timer is not working. It is model # T104P201. The on/off switch does turn the pump on and off, but the timer/clock is not turning.

I checked all the wires and connections and everything looks ok. Do the clocks ever just stop working?

Rarely. But you can replace just the motor / timer mechanism.

I thought they were very reliable as well. I did leave the breaker to the pump on all winter and hence the timer was running all winter That could have something to do with it.

They do fail... Hey it's man made. You need the T104M. I have not seen them in the box stores. Might have to get it from an electrical supply house.

I've found that it is actually better to leave the timer on all winter, even if you're not running any load on it.
