Quick installation and it worked great

The best thing about old whirlpool washing machines is that they can be actually fixed when something goes wrong. The problem I was having on this old used Kenmore (Whirlpool) washer was that on the normal cycle the spin cycle was skipping. But if I advanced the knob to the second cycle, the spin cycle worked. It was a pain. But that indicated that the mechanical timer was the problem. Evidently, over the years, the contact point for the spin cycle had arched or worn out so that a connection wasn't being made. I've replaced timers on other machines in the past, and on these old Whirlpool-engineered machines it was not a big thing to replace: a couple of screws, unclip the old timer, reclip the new timer, and that was it. This one worked like a charm.
