ET004 Universal 5-Wire Washing Machine Timer 15 Min
The ET004 semi-automatic washing machine 5 wire timer is a mechanical dial timer built to control the wash cycle duration in twin-tub (semi-automatic) washing machines, with a maximum cycle time of 15 minutes. This type of timer is the single most common failure point in semi-automatic washing machines, since it relies on an internal mechanical mechanism (gears and a spring) that wears down with repeated use, which explains why replacement searches for this part are so frequent across Saudi Arabia.
The ET004 timer is designed as a practical drop-in replacement for a failed timer across a wide range of semi-automatic washing machine models sold in the Saudi market, as long as the number of electrical terminals (wires) matches your old timer. Instead of buying an entirely new washing machine when the wash cycle stops working or shuts off unexpectedly, replacing this timer offers a fast, economical fix that restores your washer to full working order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How do I know the washing machine timer is the cause of the fault and not another part?
Common signs include the washer not running despite having power, the wash cycle stopping midway, or the knob not responding when turned. If these symptoms persist after checking the wiring and motor, the timer is the most likely cause.
Q2. How many electrical terminals does the ET004 timer have?
The terminal count varies by batch and specific model — please contact our technical team or send a photo of the back of your failed timer to confirm the match before ordering.
Q3. Does this timer fit all semi-automatic washing machines?
It fits washers with a maximum 15-minute wash cycle and a matching electrical terminal count. It doesn’t fit fully automatic washers or washers that use digital electronic timers.
Q4. Can I install the timer myself without a technician?
Yes, installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic home electrical wiring experience, but it’s recommended to photograph the old wiring layout before disconnecting anything to avoid mistakes.
Q5. What happens if the wires are connected in the wrong order?
The washer may not work correctly, the motor could run in the wrong direction, or in the worst case, the new timer could be damaged. That’s why it’s important to carefully document the old wiring before disconnecting it.
