if it shuts down then it most likely is a bad motor. If the voltage is properly wired to the motor then the motor is bad. Sometimes new items turn out to be bad out of the box. Rod US Parts Center
The 'pre-sets' are confusing. Do you mean tabs or trippers?
Tork 8601 is a 60 minute cycle timer. The dial should make 1 full revolution each 60 minutes. Trippers or tabs located on dial are pushed up or down to set on-off schedule.
If dial is running slow, then clock motor has gone bad. If dial is running on time, then trippers are worn down or timer parts are worn down. Either case when timer stops functioning, buy a new timer for $110. If the clock motor was available, you'd probably spend $60 for the motor. http://www.farmerboyag.com/time-clocks/23080024.asp
5) It might be easier to buy another time clock. Refer to Intermatic Competitive cross reference chart. http://www.intermatic.com/customer%20service/competitive%20cross%20reference.aspx For example replacement for 7008-20 is Intermatic T7802B which is a 7-day, 40 amp 240V timer. http://www.intermatic.com/products/timers/mechanical%20time%20switches/7%20day%2040%20amp.aspx
6) You are working for your church, probably as a volunteer. I also volunteer several places in my community. I have extensive files on timers and can help you choose and install a new timer if I know the model number. Just add a comment to this post and I will answer if needed.

Tork 8600 is variable cycle timer. Each revolution of dial is 60 minutes, 30 minutes or 6 minutes depending on model. 60 minute timer has 2 models, 120V and 240V. Other models are 120V. If clock is not keeping time, then clock motor is bad. I don't have a source for clock motor, and suspect that a new timer is purchased and then installed into existing box.
If you have old timer, a new one is probably required, especially if it has gotten wet or dirty. If you have electronic timer, then it has gone bad.
If you have new mechanical timer ... I wonder if you have a 50 cycle clock motor? Look at the label on timer and it should show the cycles.
Electricity is actually a wave, or a cycle. When the cycle is shortened, the motor runs faster. Occasionally, 60 cycle mechanical timers controlled by electronics also run fast by 1 hour each two weeks.
All appliances and timers and clocks and motors on the shelf are 60 cycle to match electric production in the US.
On the new timer , you have 2 wires comming of the timer motor . The blue wire should go to one of these terminals on the timer itself . The place where there is ONLY a timer motor wire going to , is where it should go .
You either change the timer motor or you change the Timing cams. Contact Lobright manufacturing in Queens village new york 888 - 829 - 0009 I do not know if my friend Bob Pinkney is still there but ask for him and tell him JW said hi. Ask him to send you a catalog. In it you will find all sorts of laundry matt stuff plus those cams and motors.
The only thing that I can think of is that you are using a dryer intended for Europe in the US. While they both run on 220V, the timer motor will be specific for the frequency of the country. The US uses 60 Hz. Europe uses 50 Hz.
To keep the explanation simplistic, your timer motor expect 50 electric (frequency) "beats" per second but instead is getting 60 beats per second. Your clock is turning an extra 12 seconds every minute.
