I have replaced a Intermatic timer R8806P101C it will work on manual but the clock is not turning. I can see four of the gears rotating on the timer but the rest never move. Does the timer have to reset or is there a problem some place? The 240v wiring was confusing as I did not have a neutrual. Is this right?

SOURCE: My intermatic timer won't trip back on

I don't think the timer runs on 240 volts does it? You can switch 240, but the timer uses 120 volts to run. You might check the connections and timer clock rating more closely. Also, the 'off' & 'on' trippers are different, make sure you use the right one.

SOURCE: swimming pool time clock face doesn't move

The timer has internal switches that you connect the input and output to . That is the NO, C , NC set of contacts. It also has a set of terminals for the clock, usually the first terminals on the left. Before connecting a feed to the clock, confirm the voltage rating for the timer. the clock voltage may be different than the contact voltage.

SOURCE: intermatic timer for my pool pump - clock is not running

Usually the timer motor is bad when that happens. Replacement timer motors are available from websites like this one:
http://www.aplussupply.com/intermatic/timermotors.htm

Be sure to get the right voltage timer motor. Intermatic T101's and T103's use a 120 volt timer motor (Cat# WG1570) and the T104 uses a 240 volt timer motor (Cat# WG1573).

If you don't want to mess around replacing the timer motor, you can purchase a new timer, and as long as the existing enclosure is in good shape, just swap out the guts.

Your timer is stuck ON.
Temporarily disconnect ground wire at pump to make sure short is not somehow completing 240Volt circuit.
Move toggle switch to Auto position, and then ON and then OFF > Toggle should be able to switch Load on-off. If toggle is problem, then order 133T1115A switch.
Note if the timer dial is rotating and keeping good time: if dial is not rotating, then replace WG733-14D clock motor.
If dial is rotating, the trippers might be worn down. Order 156T1950A trippers.
If dial is rotating, and trippers are good, then relay might be bad. Order 143T139A relay.

Have a intermatic sprinkler timer that is has been reconnected to the pump. it works in the manual mode but the timer does not work looking for help on the wiring (video for dummies preferred)
No video.
If manual override works, look to see if dial rotates on time for full 24 hours. If dial keeps good time, then timer clock motor is wired correctly. If dial stops rotating after tripper passes, then wiring is wrong. If trippers are absent or worn down then timer will not turn Load on-and-off.

The yellow time dial has stopped turning and the auto switch cannot activate the sprinklers
If I understand correctly, the manual override does not work, and the clock dial does not turn.

It seems odd that both things would happen together. Usually the clock motor stops but the manual override still works.

Check that your timer has electricity. Check your breaker. It sounds like the electricity is off.

Does your manual override snap clean and crisp, or it it sluggish? If the manual override is sluggish, the timer mechanism may be rusted.

Snap the timer out from the box and look at the condition of the gears, and the override lever. If the timer is rusty and the manual override does not snap clean and crisp, then the timer needs to be replaced. Buy a new timer and swap out the insides without changing the box.

You might need a clock motor
Snap out the mechanism and get the number off clock

The timer clicked OFF but poot pump kept running. Had to trip breaker to stop pool pump.
Your Intermatic timer has a manual override.
The override is a good diagnostic.
Click the manual override and see if pump turns on and off.

Next, watch if the clock is rotating.
If the clock is rotating, the OFF tripper may be worn out and you need a new tripper

geno_3245_4.jpg

If the clock wheel is not rotating, you need a new clock motor.
If you have T104, your clock motor is 240Volts
If you have T101 or T103, your clock motor is 125Volts
Buy trippers and clock motors at Grainger
Clock motor replacement takes a small star-screwdriver bit

If your manual override is not working, then the gears might be rusty and need to be cleaned or your timer needs to be replaced.
You can buy same model number timer and then swap the insides without changing boxes.

THE CLOCK IS STOPPED
If clock does not rotate the dial then Intermatic mechanical timers will not turn ON-and-Off.

The problem could be 1) no voltage to timer 2) bad timer 3) bad clock motor

1) No voltage
First thing to check on any timer is the manual override
If the manual override turns the load (or sprinklers) on-and-off, then your timer has power
Next check the breaker to make sure it is not tripped
Check your GFCI receptacles if timer happens to be on one of those circuits
Stand on dry boards, tape tester lead to wood stick to keep hands away from power, Use tester inside timer and test each screw terminal to bare ground wire, or test black wires to white wires to see if any power shows inside box.

If the manual override seems stiff and sluggish, the timer may be bad

2) Bad timer
Timers that sit outside get rusty and dirty
Click manual override to see if it clicks crisp and new
Next, turn off power and release timer mechanism using metal spring located at top >>> tip mechanism out of box and look at the metal gears >>> are they rusty or are they clean >>> spray a little WD-40
Does it look like the tripper pins are caught on the tripper lever? Does it look like the unit is too rusty for the clock motor to click manual override on-and-off?
You can buy a new Intermatic timer of the same type and simply exchange insides without changing out the whole box

3) Bad clock motor
Clock motors go bad
The wheel stops turning.
Clock motor is located on back of timer mechanism > it has identifying markings
If everything else on timer checks out, then you can order a new clock motor
