6-Wire Big Fitting Washing Machine Timer
The 6-wire big fitting washing machine timer is a mechanical wash timer with six electrical terminals, built with a durable black housing and a metal mounting bracket, making it better suited to semi-automatic washing machines with a larger mounting opening compared to standard smaller timers. This type differs from simpler 3-wire or 5-wire timers in that it typically also controls motor reversal (Motor Reversal) between the wash and spin phases, not just cycle timing, making it compatible with a wider range of washer models with multiple functions.
This timer features a flat metal control shaft (rather than fully round) that exits the housing straight, along with a top and bottom metal mounting bracket instead of the plastic mounting screws typical of smaller models. This “big fitting” design makes it the right replacement for washers that originally use timers with a larger mounting opening size, rather than trying to force a small timer into a large opening.
Key Features
- 6 electrical terminals: enables control of both cycle timing and motor direction reversal between wash and spin
- Big fitting mounting: a larger metal mounting bracket suited to washers with a wide mounting opening
- Durable outer housing: reinforced industrial black plastic that withstands heavy use
- Flat metal control shaft: a design that ensures better knob stability during repeated use
- Metal mounting bracket: more durable than the plastic mounting brackets found on smaller models
- Compatible with more complex control circuits: suited to washers with multiple functions (wash + spin + direction reversal)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What’s the difference between this timer (6-wire) and 3-wire or 5-wire timers?
6-wire timers typically also control motor direction reversal between wash and spin, in addition to cycle timing, while simpler timers (3-5 wires) control timing only without direction reversal.
Q2. What does “big fitting” mean in this product’s name?
It indicates that this timer’s metal mounting bracket is larger than standard models, suited to washers originally designed with a larger mounting opening.
Q3. Why doesn’t this timer have a printed model number?
Some batches of generic washer timers don’t carry a clearly printed model number, and matching relies instead on terminal count, mounting size, and function.
Q4. Does this timer fit any semi-automatic washing machine?
It fits washers with a 6-terminal control circuit and specifically a large mounting opening. It doesn’t fit washers with a standard smaller opening or simpler control circuits
Q5. Can I install this timer myself?
Given the wiring complexity of 6 terminals and the possible motor reversal function, it’s best to hire a technician specifically experienced with this timer type to avoid wiring mistakes.
