i am having exactly the same problem and after dismantling the timer mechanism i discovered that one of the cogs had broken in the timer gears, if i could only find a cog to fit ,theres about 10 in the system of various sizes, maybe a hobby shop could help me. to anyone who did,nt know, after undoing the 2 screws at the top of the unit the main box lifts out and leaves the wireing box intact.
