I have a Intermatic T101 timer which is only used once a day (evening). It is turned on at 7:00PM and turned off at 10:30PM automatically. The problem is it has stopped turning on by the tripper. I replaced the on tripper but it still does not work. I can turn it on manually. It does turn off automatically.
What do you suggest short of buying a new timer?

Regards,
Charlie

Kind of tough, have you tried disconect all power and check connection from tripper?

Chuck, thank you for replying to my question. My plan for tomorrow is to do just what you suggested. I am hoping that it will turn out to be something simple. It is going to be in the 90s here in sunny So. CA so that will give me something to do. Being 76 yrs. Old I like to keep busy.

Chuck,
I took a look at the timer this morning and noticed there was ware where the on switch was triped. I bought the bullet and went by the Home Depot and bought a new mechanism.
