Purchased this timer (Woods Digital Timer Cat. No. 59203) this time last year to run my Christmas decorations. It work like a charm. Now setting up decorations this year and nothing shows on the display of the timer. Does it go into hibernation or something when not in use or should I just go purchase another one?

These timer are often non-functioning form the beginning, or go bad short time later. Other timers last a few years.

1) Copy following link for possible manual:

2) Don't forget to reset timer to clear traces of prior programming.

I think there are different manuals for the oval-shaped timer, and several different numbers, maybe more:

One of them might work.

I do not show a Woods 111 timer.
However Woods is sold under many different numbers and a few different brand names.
Link below goes to all Woods timers and manuals:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html

Step 1) Scroll through page and look carefully at the timers to help identify your timer. Similar timers might set the same way as your timer. Add a comment any time.
Step 2) Add a comment and describe your indoor timer. Is it wired into the wall, or does it plug in. Describe the buttons in detail or the dial, describe override switch if it has one. Give as much information as you can think, and then I will check other resources
Step 3) Check list of other brands because Woods carries over into other brands as well. I am familiar with these timers.

Woods timers and manuals including TD1000 appear on following page:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html

If plug-in timer does not display, then
1) Reset button has tripped > push reset with paper clip
2) power is off > plug something else in receptacle to check receptacle
3) timer is loose in receptacle > unplug timer, spread prongs a bit, and plug back in
4) timer has gone bad.

Except for a few Woods and Intermatic outdoor timers, plug-in timers have internal rechargeable battery. Battery is not replaceable so when battery goes bad, the timer is bad.

See other Woods plug-in timers:
