How difficult is it to replace a dishwasher timer dial?

I have a GE Hotpoint dishwasher (HDA2030). The dishwasher runs and the dial turns by hand, but the timer does not advance through the cycles by itself. I explained the problem to a service technician and he was confident that the timer was faulty. Of course, he said his charge for labor would exceed the cost of replacing the dishwasher.

I found a new timer part online inexpensively and planned on installing it myself. However, I haven't found any manuals specifically for this model. I have seen repair manuals for replacing timers in non-GE and older Hotpoint dishwashers and it looks relatively easy to do, but I'm still searching for a repair manual for my model.

So, has anyone had experience replacing a dishwasher timer? I've replaced the dishwasher drain solenoid and other minor appliance repairs, so I'm somewhat confident in my abilities.

    This website is very helpful.

    You could also buy the parts you need, from them.

    What I usually do is write and email them the problem of the appliance, and usually they get back to me within a few hours by email with detailed information.

    You can copy and paste your "Question" if you'd like, which seems descriptive enough. Good luck.
