I have a GE Timer Cat. No. 58280 and the paper or stick on dial with the settings has disappeared. Is there a dial that I could print and re-stick on to my timer? Thank you!

I think I found a solution: this appears to be a single-outlet version of GE 06655 Light-Sensitive 8-Hour Dual-Outlet Timer. I have tried matching the dial settings from the online image and it seems to work. There are seven settings on the timer switch. Set the pointer of the rotary switch dial so the ridge clicks into place with one end pointing precisely at the triangular switch position indicator. This is the Off position. Turn the dial one click clockwise, this is the Always On position. Then comes the 2-Hour setting, meaning it comes on at dusk and turns off after two hours. Then come the 4-hour, 6-hour and 8-hour settings. Finally, the Dusk-till-Dawn setting.

I don't have GE number like that.
It may be old GE number, but internet does not show result for '58280 timer' except your question.
GE timers are usually 15000 numbers.
Woods timers are 50000 numbers.
I cannot find any timer with 58280 number, and I have files full of timer numbers.
I research and test timers, and I don't know that number.
Nor can I imagine stick-on label or stick-on dial goes on timer.
Give me more information: What does this look like. What does timer turn on-off. Is this a programmable timer. Is timer plug-in or installed in-wall. Is this indoor or outdoor timer. What did label have printed on it.
Take photo of timer and post it on Imgur.com, and then include Imgur url (for example imgur.com/DF45E)
With further information, I might be able to help get label for you.

    I have the same model, same problem, the timer sticker has fallen off. It does say Cat No 58280 on the back, I think I got it at Target, maybe it's specially labeled. It is an outside-usable timer switch with several settings: always on, 2-4-6-8 hours on at dusk, dusk-to-dawn. Single, grounded outlet, 1000w rated.

Service manual for GE DPSR473EW0WW dryer

the timer may be stuck at a certain place as they have points that at times tend to burn out and stick when the timer gets to that point. do the other settings work? some times the moister sensor will not sense dry clothes and keep running? as for ur drum noise that may be due to bad rollers or bad tensioner and belt depending on ur model and hopefully not bad bearings also a possibility

How to set GE 15145 Box Timer, Mechanical Indoor?

http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#15145
This timer is link a 24 hour clock. It rotates once each 24 hours.
Dial is marked with hours
The silver part of dial is for daylight hours 6 am 6 pm, and dark part of dial is for evening hours 6 pm to 6 am.
Put on-off trippers on dial at hours you want timer to operate.
Trippers should be marked with on and off
Below the dial... notice the words OFF ON and TIME are printed.
OFF and OFF correspond to the position of override lever. The override lever clicks back and forth between on and off as the trippers pass.
The word Time is printed inside a triangle that is pointed at the dial.
To set dial to current time, manually rotate dial until current time lines up with TIME.
So if it is 8:30 at your home, then rotate dial arouund until 8:30 lines up with TIME.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

How do I set a plug in timer GE 24 hour Model 15075? There are tiny switches for every hour and can be pushed towards the inner circle or pushed outward. And there is a turning arow near the center and a...

Following link has a close-up photo of on-off pins on GE 15075 timer
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#15075

Pins are located around timer dial
The pins divide 24-hour day into 1/2 hour segments
Pins are out for ON
Pins are inward for OFF
Notice that numbered dial is divided into dark and light areas ... the dark areas are PM, light areas AM.

For example you are connecting chicken coop lamp to this timer.
Turn lamp on and make sure bulb is working.
Plug lamp into timer.
Set pins in and out as follows: all pins outward between 4:30 pm on light part of dial to 8:00 pm on dark part of dial. And then set all pins outward between 5:00am on dark part of dial to 7:00 am on light part of dial.
Plug timer into outlet
Move switch located on top to TIMER ON
Manually rotate timer dial clockwise to see lamp turn on and off.
Lastly, set current time: Manually rotate timer dial clockwise until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial. So if current time is high noon, then rotate dial until 'sun' symbol located on light part of dial lines up with arrowhead.
As time passes, the timer dial rotates, and the pins click circuit on-off.
To override timer, move switch to outlet-on.

Amazon shows First Alert tm261 random vacation timer
http://www.amazon.com/First-Alert-Tm261-7-Day-Vacation/dp/B000P6W4OE
If this is not your timer, then add a comment.

First Alert tm261 random vacation timer is similar to GE 15151 shown on following page.
GE 15151 has a manual
First Alert appears just below GE 15151
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#vacation

A vacation timer cannot be programmed.
Look closely at outer edge of dial and see that dial has small plastic protrusions that stick out.
These protrusions are trippers that cause timer to turn lights on-off at random times so home looks occupied when on vacation.

How do I work a GE 24-hour timer? There were no instructions. I don't know if I'm supposed to have the lamp turned on or off in order for the timer to work.

Yes the lamp must be turned on.
Bulb must be in working order.

The GE 15004 timer does not have a manual at Jasco, so many folks write in about this timer

To set the timer, rotate dial until current time lines up with pointer located on inner dial.
The trippers are located on outer edge of dial.
I'm am guessing that you move the trippers around to time, and then push tripper inward or outward.
I have looked at enlarged photos of timer but cannot say exactly how the tripper is set.
Green tripper is ON
Red tripper is OFF

There is a switch located on side of timer.
Move switch to ON for timer to operate.
Plug lamp into timer.
Plug timer into wall.

To check on-off settings, manually rotate dial clockwise with your hand and watch lights turn ON-OFF.
Check switch is supposed to be set ON, by moving switch both ways.

I have ge model 15119 24 her timer and need help on how to set

GE 15119 timer is a 24-hour plug-in dial-type timer.
Dial rotates as time passes.
Plastic segments located around outer edge of dial control on-off operations.
Each segment represents 30 minutes of 24-hour day.

Timer comes with segments down.
Each segment can be lifted up using small screwdriver under edge of segment.

Segments down, timer is ON.
Segments up, timer is OFF.
So if you want timer to turn on at 7pm and turn off at 11pm, then lift all segments around dial except segments between 7 and 11.

geno_3245_126.jpg

Dial is divided into two parts > day and night.
Nighttime hours are shown by numbers with dark background >> notice small crescent moon where 12 midnight is located.
Daylight hours are shown by numbers with light background, and sun symbol shows at 12 noon

To set current time, so timer knows what time it is right now:
Rotate dial clockwise until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial.

There is override switch located on one side of timer.
Move switch to Timer ON position and timer program will function.
If you want to turn lights ON using override switch, move switch to OUTLET ON.

Last steps:
Turn lamp on.
Plug lamp into timer.
Plug timer into wall.
