yes....i am going to look into the digital side. There are a few factors that need balancing!

Where are the trips that attach to the timer wheel that trip the timer to turn off and on. I do not see them. They clamp to the outside of the wheel.

Thank you, least of all the two of us actually looked at the provided picture to noticed the trip arms are missing.
Most likely the last pool person that worked on the pool for whatever removed them. Replacement ones can be purchased from Lowe's or Home Depot.

Bad timer as everyone said. You don't need the Walsall. Home depot carriers the 105 series replacement for $62. 30 minutes to replace the timer

Picked up new control at home depot, less than $60 and installed it myself.

If that is a picture of your timer there are now on and off pens on the time will look in the bottom of the case

The “pull to change time” wheel is not stuck or disengage - it’s where it should be to rotate properly.

Of course I can manually activate the pool pump but the timer is a real benefit.

I searched forum - no related posts that I can find.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Or

Any recommendations for repair person other then TD?
WOW! I have the exact same timer and have had no issues. Read your post this AM and noticed my filter hadn't turned on. Went to check and the exact same problem happened to me. The motor stopped turning the yellow wheel at 5:00PM last night. This is planned obsolescence to a tee. Not sure what I'm going to do yet but likely will pull it, replace it with a cord/plug and route it to an outdoor digital timer.

The tripping setting tabs have nothing to with this problem, the OP said the WHEEL on the timer does not turn.....

For you bragones and all the future folks who search this topic.

Purchased a new timer motor from “pinch a penny pool” on 27/441 lady lake.

$45

No need for the switch component as that was not defective.

Removal, replacement and instillation was a cake walk. Make sure your garage breaker AND the unit (box the timer is housed in) breakers are off.

Mark and photo the wires before removing the timer unit.

3 photos attached - one shows new timer next to failed timer. Two shows the timer unit reinstalled. Note that it just clips in place. Three shows a window that exposes black wheels.

The timer unit only works when those black wheels are turning.

PM me if u need additional info.

Looks like you are missing on /off parts.
Should be on wheel.
