timer installation
January 22, 2019|Deer H, rutland vt
timer failed after about 15 years and much use. WAtched the install video on computer. They tell you to take a picture of wiring on back of timer, not an easy thing to do But I did it. Best bet, take off one wire at a time and connect to new part. Take your time and its not too bad. Total time about 30 minutes
