SOURCE: I have a ML200RT-the timer is stuck.
The solution is in the final gear before the timer - it is nylon on the metal casing - and has corroded - happens after winter if left unplugged or stationary. It takes about 5 minutes to fix.
Carefully take apart the gear mechanism - remembering where the gears go. When you take out the final gear - it is through a swaged area of metal - carefully rub the inside of this with emery cloth to remove corrosion etc. Apply a heavy dab of grease or Vaseline.
Re-assemble and you're good to go.
