i have a black and wht wire coming into my switch box and the 59745 switch has red black and wht wie on it how do i wire this in

See pages 118-121 of the SX130 manual: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/5/0300003855/04/PSSX130IS_CUG_EN_03.pdf

I don't have repair for defective timer:
If Load and Line wires are reversed, that could explain problem. Reverse timer red and timer black wires. Symptom of this problem: the clock dial stops rotating after tripper pin.

Troubleshoot run-through:
1) Use fingers and manually rotate timer dial several times and watch if Load turns ON-and-OFF
This will tell you if load is operational, and pins are set correctly.
2) Set slide switch to Timer.
3) Make sure timer is wired correctly. This timer needs neutral wire to operate clock motor. Open following link to see illustration and read about wiring. Line and load wires must be correct.

4) Check that wire nuts are attached very tight and there are no loose wires.

You have new 59017 single-pole in-wall 24-hour timer with tripper pins located on dial.
Timer is heavy duty and will handle up to 2500Watts 1 HP, including anything typically controlled by 15-20Amp light switch: incandescent, florescent, CFL, motor, pump, AC, whole house fan, etc.

When timer is wired correctly, timer dial rotates no matter which position slide switch is set to.
Your dial rotated correctly and turned lamp ON, and rotated correctly until lamp turned OFF, and then stopped rotating.
This implies loss of power.
Check circuit breaker.
Check for loose wire on timer installation.
If wiring checks out, then timer is suspect. Replace different switch with suspect timer, and see if timer works on different Load.

Look for am and pm printed on dial.
Except for the Tork 701 timer, most timer dials have dark background for nighttime hours.
The Tork has small printing on dial that shows 1pm and 1 am.

You don't say if this is new timer installation.
Or if timer was working before and suddenly stopped working.

I also own Woods 59017 timer from Home Depot.

1) New timer installation:
Open following link to access manual and read wiring instructions.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#59017

2) Old timer that stopped working:
If timer dial does not rotate, then the timer is broken, does not have power, or is wired wrong.
If timer stalls when it gets to a pin, then the clock motor has gotten weak, and is overheated and will stop working.

3) Buy new GE 15070 timer from Home Depot for $18

4) Buy new Woods 59017 at Amazon for $11 plus shipping

Hi,

It sounds like the wall switch that you have already is a three way switch... the timer will not work in a three way application...
So... you cannot hook that uo to there and make it work correctly...

Question edited for a lot more clarity. All question need 'make model what is is)' as first words in the question. Question moved from Lands Phone to Woods Timer. Phone number removed. This site has 11 million views a year, how many would you like to phone you? Instructions and videos. Follow carefully. If that doesn't work, contact Woods for warranty replacement. https://www.google.com/search?q=woods+50016+timer+instructions ..

If you look on the back, you will find the instructions engraved in it. You will need good eyesight. Is it the one with the photocell for Christmas lights? Plug it in, press the button once for set, press again until you reach the number of hours (say 6) after dark you want it it on. Take note that when you set it, the light will be on. It won't work properly until the next day. On at dusk (5:00pm is) and off after the preset (6) hours. https://www.google.com/search?q=woods+outdoor+timer+instructions Two button

Hari, DISCONNECT POWER..circut breaker.. FOR 30-60 SECONDS AND REAPPLY, SOMETIMES A POWER SURGE CAN LOCK UP THE ELECTRONICS AND THIS WILL RESET IT. Otherwise Amazon has them for $13.00. Best to you.

It is faulty. Take it back for exchange. On old / aged models is is a sticking motor or missing teeth in a sprocket. https://www.google.com/search?q=woods+model+59101r+timer+clock+stops+working ..

It is possible that your Woods timer is malfunctioning due to a power surge or power outage. You can check the time settings by pressing the "SET" button on the timer and then using the "+" and "-" buttons to set the time. If the timer is still not setting correctly, then it is likely the timer is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Sounds like a defective timer.
