Below is a breakdown of how to wire different Intermatic timer models. How to wire an Intermatic pool timerįirst, verify the power is turned off at the breaker panel. For extra safety, shut-off the ‘Pool’ breaker on the main home panel too.

Spray WD-40 or any kind of lubricant onto the manual lever to loosen it. If it doesn’t improve, inspect the contacts behind the time clock for insect infestation. Intermatic time clock manual lever is hard to flip Same goes for slipping timer dogs! Gently tighten the screws to securely hold the dogs in place. Simply screw it back into place until it’s snug. The screw in the center point timer occasionally comes loose due to vibrations from the pump and filter. Intermatic time clock motors can be replaced, but unless the time clock is brand new, it’s best to replace the entire Intermatic mechanism. Then remove the mechanism by pressing the clip at the top of the timer box. Pop-in a new timer mechanism, and replace the wires to the previous configuration.
Turn the power off at the breaker box and carefully remove the wires to the clock. If the motor or wires are faulty in your Intermatic time clock, it’s time to replace the mechanism. As you release the dial, you will feel the gears engage. Pull the timer out and turn it to the correct time. If power is reaching the clock, and the gears are turning, but the dial is not turning – this means the gear on the back of the dial is not engaged. Use a power meter set on AC volts to verify the power is off, before handling the timer mechanism. With the breakers turned off, remove the mechanism from the box. It could also be loose wires, either on the time clock terminal board, or on the timer motor. If power is reaching the clock, but the motor gears are not turning, that usually means either something is jammed in the gears, or the timer motor has burned out. Remove the plastic insulator cover, and use an AC test meter to check for power on the terminals where the wires from the breaker connect to the time clock. If there is still no movement, test the wires coming into the time clock to see if power is reaching the time clock. Then turn the breaker, that the time clock is connected to, off and back on again. If power is coming to the timer motor, you will clearly see the gears moving through the small window.
Look into the visual motor check window, near the top of the timer mechanism. Set the current time to the center time pointer, pointing downward at 6 o’clock. This will disengage the dial and allow you to spin it in either direction. To reset the time clock to the correct time, grasp the outer edges of the large yellow dial, and pull gently outward. No matter what caused the issue, there is typically an easy fix! Incorrect clock time due to power outage In this post, we discuss a few quick and easy ways to troubleshoot your pump’s Intermatic timer clock problems. But eventually, like all equipment, intermatic clocks wear out and need to be replaced or repaired. Intermatic time clocks are the workhorse of your pool equipment collection, and oftentimes outlive the equipment they control. These clocks determine when your pool pump turns on, and how long it runs. The most common pool timer used for inground pool pumps is the Intermatic time clock.
