Can a time clock be replaced on an Intermatic pool pump?
Intermatic time clock motors can be replaced, but unless the time clock was fairly new, I’d probably just replace the entire Intermatic mechanism. But then again, Intermatic timer motors can be half the cost of a new mechanism, depending on the model. Here’s a real nice pictorial on how to replace an Intermatic timer motor, or mechanism.
What to do if your pool pump TimeClock is bad?
A: If you’ve gone through a full inspection of the mechanism and determined the motor or gears are bad, replacing a timeclock mechanism is an easy repair – for a qualified person. With the power off at the breaker box, and checked with n electric meter, the wires can be removed, 2-in, 2-out, and the ground wire.
How do I reset the time on my pool pump?
A: To reset the time clock to the correct time, grasp the outer edges of the large yellow dial, and pull gently outward, towards you. This will disengage the dial and allow you to spin it in either direction. Set the current time to the center time pointer, pointing downward at 6 o’clock.
Where does the secure wire go on an Intermatic pool pump?
Secure wire conduit to the knock out with the proper conduit connectors and first connect the green ground wire to the green ground screw labeled GRD. If your 120V wires are properly colored (and sometimes they are not), the White wire connects to terminal “A”, and the Black wire connects to Terminal “1”.

What to do when your pool pump won’t turn on?
When your pool pump won’t turn on, the first place to look is for all issues electric: your breaker, your wiring, and the capacitor. It sounds complicated, I know—but it’s not. And by the way, if your pump is automatic, go ahead and check its timer to make sure it’s on in the first place. Just while you’re at it.

How long does it take to replace an Intermatic time clock?
It can actually take less than 5 minutes. Intermatic time clock motors can be replaced, but unless the time clock was fairly new, I’d probably just replace the entire Intermatic mechanism. But then again, Intermatic timer motors can be half the cost of a new mechanism, depending on the model.
