The timer at our new house stopped working. It will still turn on manually if you flip the switch, but the timer isn't working and the gears aren't moving. I ordered a new motor, took the timer off, swapped out the motor, reinstalled, and nothing changed - manual works, timer doesn't.
This was the wiring I found when installing the new timer motor:
It looks like the wire to the motor was burned/shorted? Does anyone know if this might be my issue? I snipped/stripped the wiring back a bit and cleaned up the wiring and replaced the protective cover over the wire. I checked the four fuses in the box next to it and they're all fine. I just don't want to order a whole new timer if the wiring is the issue, and I'd prefer a DIY fix before calling someone out. Thanks for any help anyone might have!
