Intermatic Light Timer Not Turning On

I have a intermatic t101 timer which is only used once a day evening.

Intermatic light timer not turning on.

Intermatic time clock motors can be replaced but unless the time clock was fairly new i d probably just replace the entire intermatic mechanism. It does turn off automatically. If you ve had landscaping done recently check the areas for damaged wires loose connections or other problems. But then again intermatic timer motors can be half the cost of a new mechanism depending on the model.

Both the slide and the filter sticker come with your intermatic photocontrol for easy use. It is turned on at 7 00pm and turned off at 10 30pm automatically. A loose tripper can cause failure of the intermatic timer to turn on or off automatically at the set times. Get on a sturdy ladder and twist the bulb fully into the socket.

The problem is it has stopped turning on by the tripper. The timer mechanism has worn out and will not turn on the transformer when the tripper reaches the set time. From programmable time controls to photocontrol sensors to weatherproof covers intermatic offers the most robust lineup. Simple reliable solutions for any location.

Jack checks the transformer and sees that it s still on so he knows that isn t causing their landscape lights to not work. I replaced the on tripper but it still does not work. It stalls at the set time and apparently slips when the tripper engages the switch. Additionally a faulty tab can cause failure of the timer to turn on or off when the dial is rotating.
