I have a faulty Timer Control on a Zanussi FLS1197w washing machine (for which I have a spare part) and removed the top cover but discovered that the timer control is very difficult to access from the top of the machine. I am unsure on the correct approach to replace unit without dismantling complete machine etc..

Cannot find service manual online etc..

disconnect from mains
remove the timer knob cap and remove the knob assembly
look through where you have removed the knob and you should see 2 pozi screws holding the timer
with magnetic screwdriver remove them to release the time
Can I just say timer issues on these isn't very common.Other external issues cause timer to advance etc.etc
