The timers on my Intermatic Timer T40003RT3 are not working. I can turn the pumps on manually with the switch below the timers but the dials themselves are not turning, preventing them to turn on & off automatically.

Intermittent Intermatic Pool Timer T40003RT3 The pool timer is 220v but only one 110v 20amp breaker in the breaker box to the pool equipment and when it is off the pump will not run in manual mode.

http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-control-centers-and-manuals.html#RT3

RT3 series has T104 240 volt timer -or- T103 120 volt timer, -plus- low voltage transformer for pool light.
The circuit breaker can be used for transformer, or another outlet or nearby light etc, or it can be used for a T103 120 volt timer.
To trace the wire back to breaker box.... open you main panel and start turning off breakers one at a time and label the panel.
See if you have single breaker or double breaker supplying power to pool equipment.

My Intermatic T104P3 timer will not turn the pump on. The manual switch works and it does turn off, as set.

1) Manual switch is working, and that says electricity, circuit breaker, wiring, and pump are good.
If timer dial is rotating and keeping good time, then order new 156T1978A trippers.
If dial is not rotating, then order 240Volt WG1573 clock motor.

2) Open following links for troubleshoot walk-thru and replacement parts list.

You installed new 240Volt T104 Intermatic timer.
Cause of problem is not determined, so read information below and then add a comment with further observations.

According to question:
Timer is wired correctly.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-T104-Intermatic-timer.html
The on-and-off trippers are installed on dial, but do NOT click the override lever back and forth.
Both ON and OFF trippers are on the dial.
And the timer is NEW and not used, and trippers are NEW and not used.
And the dial rotates and keeps good time, making 1 full rotation each 24 hours.
And the manual override lever works and turns load (pool pump) on-and-off.

Open following link to view photo image of OFF tripper coming in contact with manual override lever.
Trippers are soft metal, and made to wear down. When tripper gets old, it will slide over the lever instead of move the lever.

Open following link to read how to set timer, and see close-up images of timer with trippers on dial, and tripper order number for replacement trippers.

1) If circuit breaker is not tripped or shorted, then timer clock motor has probably gone bad.

2) Some places still sell paragon timers, depending on model number.
But model number given is for 240Volt timer.

3) The clock motor is not available that I can find.
Paragon is no longer making the 4000 series timers or parts
http://waterheatertimer.org/Paragon-timers-and-manuals.html#4000

4) Model number given does not match wiring terminals shown in manual.
4014 is DPST 240Volt timer with 4 wiring terminals labeled 1 2 3 4.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Paragon-4000-series.pdf

5) Paragon 4000 series timer with terminals 1 2 3 is 120Volt timer.

6) Replace 120Volt timer with Intermatic T101 indoor timer or T101R outdoor timer.
Crossover wiring:
Paragon terminal 1 goes to Intermatic terminal 1
Paragon terminal 2 goes to Intermatic terminal 2
Paragon terminals 3 goes to Intermatic terminal A

Your timer is stuck ON.
Temporarily disconnect ground wire at pump to make sure short is not somehow completing 240Volt circuit.
Move toggle switch to Auto position, and then ON and then OFF > Toggle should be able to switch Load on-off. If toggle is problem, then order 133T1115A switch.
Note if the timer dial is rotating and keeping good time: if dial is not rotating, then replace WG733-14D clock motor.
If dial is rotating, the trippers might be worn down. Order 156T1950A trippers.
If dial is rotating, and trippers are good, then relay might be bad. Order 143T139A relay.

Have a intermatic sprinkler timer that is has been reconnected to the pump. it works in the manual mode but the timer does not work looking for help on the wiring (video for dummies preferred)

No video.
If manual override works, look to see if dial rotates on time for full 24 hours. If dial keeps good time, then timer clock motor is wired correctly. If dial stops rotating after tripper passes, then wiring is wrong. If trippers are absent or worn down then timer will not turn Load on-and-off.

Timer wheel seems to slip. Won't hold time

You posted under Intermatic T104 timer.
If you have different timer, information below may not fit your timer.
Add a comment with correct timer brand and model number.

1) Click manual override on-off to see if Load turns ON, and that override snaps crisp and clean and is not sluggish or hard to move.
If override is not functioning well, then timer is bad. Buy new timer.
2) If dial is rotating, note current time, and watch if dial is keeping correct time over full day.
If dial is running slow, then buy T100 series 240Volt clock motor for T104 timer.
3) If dial is keeping good time, then tripper might be worn and need replacement

How to wire intermatic T-1906 for a 220 well pump?

http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-T1906-Intermatic-timer.html

T1906 is 240V timer with 240V clock motor
There are 4 terminals: NO NC COM Clock
NO terminal (normally open) turns ON when the timer turns on
NC terminal (normally closed) is ON at all times except when timer turns on.

You want your pump connected to the NO terminal so it turns ON when timer turns on.

How to wire:
240V has 2 Hots from breaker box > these connect to COM and Clock terminals (either color wire to either terminal)
Your pump has 2 wires > these wires connect to NO and Clock terminals (either color wire to either terminal)
The bare copper wires connect together and connect to green screw.

If your wires from breaker and pump are reversed, the manual override will work, but the timer clock will not rotate dial. If this is the case, then switch NO and COM wires.

If you can also turn the pump on and off manually by turning the dial, then the timer motor is bad.

Timer wont turn on, is the manual switch below the dial suppose to be in on or off position?

the manual switch is to override the timer and turn on what its controlling, for the timer part to work it is supposed to be in the off position, this should let the timer work like its supposed to.

Sounds like clock motor(s) are working.
Snap mechanism out using thumb spring located inside top of box.
Look for clock motor number printed on clock, should be WG1573 for 240V timer

Google search for 'Intermatic WG1573'
For example Grainger sells that clock motor as 1PNK2
(plus they sell extra trippers which are designed to wear down):

Notice that each clock motor has two white wires that connect to terminals. Those white wires connect to terminals. Test across those terminals to make sure terminals have correct power. If terminals have correct power, then clock motor is suspect. Intermatic has been offline for a couple days, so I wrote first answer without looking at specific manual. Right now, I'm looking at catalog page 43 for T40003RT3, and it shows 1 clock motor and 120Volts. Will you please double check your model number and also check clock motor number if it is WG1573 or WG1570. I may have given you wrong clock motor number and voltage in first answer. And then I will double-check wiring schematic for that model number, for conclusive answer. Also add if you have 120Volt breaker or 240V breaker that powers this timer.
