Leviton ltb30 20amp timer
The Leviton LTB30 20 amp timer has a known design flaw. It has a 1 microfarad electrolytic capacitor installed against a screaming hot resistor. Cooks and dries out the cap even when not in use. 50% failure rate in my initial install of 4 units.
Pull it apart and replace the electrolytic with a ceramic cap and it will be fine. I have two of many that have already failed.
Poor design of voltage regulation and poor layout of cheap components that self destruct. Design is not half baked, it is fully baked, lol.
Can be fixed though, so not all bad...

first you must know which wires are hot from the breaker box and witch ones go to the device you are switching--lets call it a light bulb. The hot wires coming from the breaker should go where it says "LINE" black one on the "HOT" side and white one on the "White" side. One of the black wires hanging out of the switch should go on the "LOAD" "HOT" side of the switch, then attach the other hanging black wire to the black wire going to the light with a wire nut. Your white wire going to the light must go on the "LOAD" "WHITE" side or it just won't work.

power coming in from the breaker box: black wire will go to line-hot screw, and the white wire will go to the line-white screw. the switch wires coming out of the back of the gfci- 1 will go to the load-hot screw & the other black wire will wire nut to the black wire going to the light. the white wire going to the light must go to the load-white screw.
SOURCE: not sure how to wire this switch
Switch will have a commom terminal that the hot wire connects to.
The other three terminals are for the devices -- light, fan and other device.
The white wires should be the grounded wire returns for the circuits unless they are identified by color tape to be hot line side of power.
Be careful of the grounded side of circuit, can shock or kill, treat all wires as being energised. If you are not sure, use a electrical tester,
or get help.
SOURCE: I lost my Leviton 6230M 30 mins timer installation sheet.
Switch has 2 black wires. One black is hot wire. One black is wire going to fan. Turn off power. Remove wires from switch and separate. Turn power back on. Using ordinary tester, test each black wire to bare copper ground wire. Only one of the black wires will test hot. The other black wire goes to fan.
Timer black wire connects to black hot
Timer blue wire connects to black wire going to fan
Timer white wire connects to white neutral (in absence of white neutral, connect Timer white wire to bare ground)
Timer green connects to bare ground wire

I Have a decora 24 hour lcd programmable timer switch 6124, when i set the timer it doesn't go on, but it goes one a 5:00 am. when there is nothing programed?
Apparently i need to set the time first and then program timer?
Can you please help. Thanks so much.
