I have a Woods clock operated switch 94N2, Model 1452 and I need pins for it..Help I there is a fee for this service, please let me know that via e-mail before proceeding. thankyou Reed Brown

hook a light to the timer and see if it turns on and off . if not get a new timer they do fail too

I don't have repair for defective timer:
If Load and Line wires are reversed, that could explain problem. Reverse timer red and timer black wires. Symptom of this problem: the clock dial stops rotating after tripper pin.

Troubleshoot run-through:
1) Use fingers and manually rotate timer dial several times and watch if Load turns ON-and-OFF
This will tell you if load is operational, and pins are set correctly.
2) Set slide switch to Timer.
3) Make sure timer is wired correctly. This timer needs neutral wire to operate clock motor. Open following link to see illustration and read about wiring. Line and load wires must be correct.

4) Check that wire nuts are attached very tight and there are no loose wires.

Here's the 1-page "manual" fo ryour timer:
https://www.ccixpress.com/wcsstore/CCIxpress/images/catalog/catalogPDFs/Part%20No/59204.pdf

As an electrician, I rarely have to dal with these plug-in timers, since when they fail, consumers
will just discard them and buy another, but as a timer owner, I can try to describe the "pins" and
operation of your Woods 59204ev timer.

1. rotate clockwise the center dial to inform the timer what time it is now.
you'll want to rarte the dial until the time on the dial points to the ARROW.
The dial is marked in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format.

2. the "pins" are on the outer edge of the dial - tilt the pins OUTWARD during the time(s) on the
timer's dial that you want your timed devce (10 Amp max lighting, 15 Amp max resistive (heater))
to be on, and tilt these pins inward for the times/hours that you want the same device to be off."

Thes pins are advertized to be "Never-Lose" pins, since unlike many past model timers, the
on/off pins for your Woods 59204EV timer are not removable. Consumers would consistently
lose or break the small plastic removable pins of yesteryear, rendering a fully functional timer useless.

Hi Joy and Fred.
You posted under Woods outdoor timer, but don't give specific brand or model
Open following links for detailed information and illustrations:

Segments are usually on outer edge of dial.
Some timers the segments lift up, some push down, some pull up and out, etc.
Use a fingernail or small tool and fiddle around with it.
Some timers have pins located on dial face that click inward or outward. Use small tool and move them in and out.
Some timers have trippers that you attach to outer edge of dial.
If you are confused, open links above for illustrations.

After moving some segments-pins. Plug lamp into timer.
Turn lamp on. Plug timer into outlet.
Manually rotate timer dial and watch how lamp turns on-off.
Move timer switch both directions and manually rotate dial to see lamp turn on-off.
These tests will show you how to set pin-segments-trippers and switch for your specific timer.

The timer dial rotates as time passes. The dial is a simple clock that rotates because of a clock motor.
The dial causes segments-pins move small lever that turns lamp on-off.
Just like any clock, the correct time has to be set. To do this: rotate dial until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial.

1) Woods 59000 series in-wall countdown timer has extra wire to run electronic clock circuit inside timer, just like plugging in ordinary alarm clock.

2) Open following link for wiring instructions, and to download online manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#59000

3) Instructions:
How to wire 59000 and 59017 in-wall timers
1) Timer-green-wire connects to bare ground wire.
2) Switch has 2 wires. Take switch wires and connect to timer-black-wire and timer-red-wire. Choose either one for now.
3) In back of electric box are white wires twisted together and covered with wire nut. Connect timer-white to these wires.
4) If electric box does not have white wires described above, then connect timer-white to bare ground along with green wire.
5) Turn on electricity, and push ON-OFF button. If lights come on, timer is wired correctly. If lights do not come on, then reverse timer-red and timer-black wires.

The segments lift up as you discovered.
Lift up about 10 consecutive segments and then manually rotate timer dial and watch when lamp turns on-off.
I think the problem you describe results from lifting only one segment, instead of all segments between the on-off times.

The dial rotates as time passes, and pins-tabs push tiny switch one direction or other direction, and switch turns light on-off.

They are located on outer edge of dial.

To check switch setting and segment settings, plug timer into outlet, turn lamp on, plug lamp into timer, then manually rotate timer dial clockwise to check operation.
Change the switch, and rotate dial again to see when lamp turns on-off.
After segments and switch are set how you want, then rotate dial until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial.

Analog timers like 59382 have small motor that rotates clock dial just like old fashioned clock.
As dial rotates, segments on dial move lever that opens and closes circuit to lamp.
The switch, or override button, lets you choose if you want timer program to operate, or if you want lamp ON all the time.

What kind of Woods timer do you have?

Is the dial turning? The dial is the clock. And the clock needs electricity to work, just like alarm clock. If dial is not turning, the wiring is not right.

Does the manual override turn on the lights? Maybe the slider switch set to OFF? Set slider to "Timer" for timer functions to work.

Wall timer:
If you have 59017 wall timer, it has dark PM white AM. You rotate dial until correct time lines up with little triangle located on right side of center knob.


There are 48 plastic pins on dial ... when pins are moved out, the lights are off. For timer functions, set slide switch to 'Timer'
Correct wiring is needed for timer to work:
Timer black attaches to Hot wire from breaker box
Timer red attaches to wire going to Load (lights)
Timer white must attach to white Neutral (or if your box has no neutral, connect white to bare ground)
Timer green connects to bare ground

If wiring seems right but dial on front of timer is still not rotating, then reverse Timer red and Timer black and see if that sorts out problem.

If this is wrong Woods timer, please re-post question.
