If the dial does not rotate but manual override works, then the timer is wired incorrectly or polarity of line is reversed or you are connecting to 240Volt line instead of 120V.
1) You have wires from breaker box reversed with wires that goes to sprinkler solenoid. Switch black wires and see if that corrects problem.
2) Check that breaker supplying voltage is 120Volt.
3) Test if black wire from breaker tests 120V to ground wire, and test that white wire from breaker tests 0 volts to ground.
