How do you connect the wires to utilitech countdown timer 0140599

Lost the manual ?
then google for it.

turn the dial to 6

None of the answers are helpful. First, this is a question about installation and not operation so clpalmer976 is worthless. And no, if you read the question it was not a 3 way switch. If you hook it uplike ridley says, the light is not powered. Read the question. The red wire powers the device. The problem is "If I connect the red to the white, the switch will work in a clicking, pulsating fashion." The red has to be connected. The last suggestion, there is on info on unitech anything on the site. They are all somethings that can't read and make this site especially worthless.

Timer has 3 wires:
Timer-Black wire connects to Hot from breaker. One of the old switch wires is Hot. Hot is usually black wire, and will test for 120V when tested to ground wire.
Timer-Blue wire connects to Load wire going to light/fan/motor. The Load wire is other wire that connects to old switch.
Timer-White wire connects to white Neutral wires. This will power the timer electronics. Neutral wires are the white wires that are twisted together and covered with wire nut and pushed to back of box.
If box does not have Neutral wires, then connect Timer-white to bare ground wire until you have time to bring neutral wire to box from any nearby outlet. Wiring timer to ground in this manner is not code.
Turn power on. If timer does not work, then reverse Timer-Blue and Timer-black and see if timer functions correctly.
If Sylvania timer will not function, then call 888-548-4484

If you want electronic countdown timer that requires no neutral wire, then select 1 Hp spring-wound timer, or 1/6 Hp Leviton-LTT series

Utilitec sells 2 different in-wall timers. Both wire the same.

Countdown timers are made to work with bath fans.
Leviton countdown timers are stout product with 1HP rating.

It sounds like timer is bad.
Wiring sounds good. Make sure you don't have Load and Line wires reversed. Try reversing Load-Line wires and see what happens.
Another thing that affects electronic timers is line noise/interference. If replacement timer does same thing, then noise is suspect. Try timer on another circuit without fan. Try another brand timer. Update to newer LTB60 Leviton timer. Use cheap circuit tester from home center to check outlet on same circuit.

You need "15 minute countdown timer" for a bath fan.

1) Following page shows selection of timer types and brands:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Countdown.html
There are push button electronic types and rotary dial types.

2) Easiest to wire is mechanical spring type countdown timer, FD series.
No electronics that can be affected by 'electric noise' on fan circuit.
Intermatic spring-wound last for years without problem.

3) Another reliable timer is GE 15088 sold at Home Depot.
Timer has preset for 20 minutes, not 15

4) Amazon sells reliable 15 minute Intermatic electronic countdown:

5) Timex sells 15 minute spring wound countdown timer. Lower price is probably with reason since Timex are generally sold in drug store/dollar store rather than hardware/electric outlets.

6) Spring wound timers connect easily to same wires that come off old fan switch.
Old switch has 2 insulated wires, connect them to either terminal on spring wound timer.

7) Electronic timers are wired differently:

First thing to consider is size of Load.
Leviton countdown-timer Load rating is 1800 Watt, 120Volt.
Look inside Jacuzzi at rating plate on motor.
Rating plate on motor should give Volts, Watts and Amps.
Formula Volts x Amps = Watts.
Sometimes motor shows VA which is Watts
Is Jacuzzi on 240Volt breaker or 120V breaker?
Leviton countdown timer is not for 240V load.

A) If 120Volt electric Load checks out, here's how to wire timer if 1 cable enter box.
Timer-black-wire connects to jacuzzi-black
Timer-white-wire connects to ground.
Timer-green connects to ground.
Timer-red connects to jacuzzi-blue.

B) Here's how to wire timer if 2 cables enter box.
120Volt cable coming from breaker box has black, white and bare copper wire.
Timer-black-wire connects to black-wire-from-breaker
Timer-white-wire connects to white-wire-from-breaker-box.
Timer-green and jacuzzi-ground connect to ground

Timer-red-wire connects to jacuzzi-black-wire.

Jacuzzi-blue-wire connects to white.
I am puzzled why this wire is blue if circuit is 120Volt.

Need programing instructions

The wires on your new switch are intended for black = power .. white = neutral . and red = lights .. with two black wires on the old switch I am assuming that there is a bundle of white wires in that wall box, the white timer needs to join that bundle ... then you need to determine which black wire is the power from the electrical panel ( voltage tester) and connect to the black timer wire .. the red timer wire connects to the other black wire in the wall..
