Possible Causes

Worn internal contacts in mechanical timer, Loose timer wiring, Burnt timer terminals

Check wiring: Access the control area and inspect wires connected to the mechanical timer. Tighten any loose spade connectors.
Inspect terminals: Look for burnt or discolored timer terminals. Replace any damaged connectors.
Test continuity: With the timer set to ON, test continuity across the output contacts. If open, the timer is faulty.
