The ANALOG dial knob timer on my old very compact Montgomery Ward microwave is no longer shutting off. I don’t mind buying a new microwave, except that they ALL are designed as low and wide. I don’t have enough counter space for any of them. Mine is tall and narrow. I’ve not found any source for parts, so wonder if anyone has ideas on how to fix the timer…assuming I can remove other parts in the way. Again, this is an analog timer, turn the knob to set the time, and it stops more-or-less where it should. Otherwise, the unit is fine. Thanks for any advice.
Hi @is_it_free , I don’t know your microwave but I think that installing this may be worth considering. Just disconnect and remove the existing timer, install the new timer and transfer the connections to it. (it sounds simple so it probably won’t be) ;-) If it’s too big in size (see specs at bottom of webpage) you may be able to adapt it to suit (seems as though the timer can be removed from the backplate which should reduce the size). Hopefully this is of some help.
