The timer has 3 settings ON, OFF, and TIMER. To control the load manually, place the slide switch in the

"ON" or "OFF" position. To use the timer,

1. Place the slide switch in the "TIMER" position
2. Rotate the dial Clockwise until the desired time lines up with the arrow in the center dial.

I have the 59017 Mechanical. I set the pins and turned on in timer mode. It comes on at specified time, goes off after specified time, but then does not come on again the next night.

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.

http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#59017
4) Check that wire nuts are attached very tight and there are no loose wires.

Hi, we just got a new woods 59017 timer, and the dial turned until it turned off, at the point that we indicated, but after it turned off, the dial remained stuck in its place and will not turn any...

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.
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Woods-59017-mechanical-timer-300.jpg

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.

I installed the GE Basic Timer 15070 ok. I set on and off times followint the insdtructions several times. The time will tunr the light on at the set on time but it never turns the light off at the set off...

Something doesn't sound right.
I have two of these timers and cannot figure out what your timer is doing, unless wiring is wrong or timer is defective, or you connected timer to 3-way switch.

15070 is single pole analog timer that requires neutral wire.
Slide switch is set to 'Timer' for automatic timer functions.

Open following links to identify timer and see wiring and how to set analog timers:

I have an Intermatic E1020 timer and the manual control does not work consistently. The timer will turn the appliance on and off automatically but I cannot get the manual control to work. Please help!

If timer dial is rotating and keeping good time, then clock motor is good, and wiring is correct.
If timer turns the load on-off, then set of 156EB945A trippers are good.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Intermatic-e1020-english.pdf

I believe the manual control button reverses the program.
So if timer is ON, and manual is pushed, then timer turns OFF, and timer resumes programming at next tripper.
So the manual override is not an on-off switch.

All plug-in timers work same way, and most of the hardwire timers and in-wall timers.
The exception is the analog GE 15070, Woods 59017, Tork 701A, Intermatic E1120, Intermatic KM2 series. These timers have a true on-and-off switch that slides back and forth.

Hello! I have a 59017 timer, and this is my problem: When I put the timer in Timer option, If I have all the pins in off, the timer run ok, but if I put one Pin in On mode, The timer run ok but when find...

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

I am installing a ge #15070 basic timer and there are 3 wires. Which wire do I attach to the ground?

GE 15070 timer does not have ground wire.
I assume this timer is double insulated, just like some power tools and electronics only have two prong plug.
Leave bare ground wire attached to other bare grounds in the box, and shove grounds to back of box.
I have one of these timers installed.
Timer has red, black and white wires
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#15070

How to wire GE 15070 timer:
1) Switch has 2 insulated wires. Take switch wires and connect them to timer-black-wire and timer-red-wire. Choose either one for now.
2) In back of electric box are white wires twisted together and covered with wire nut. Connect timer-white to these wires.
3) If electric box does not have white wires described above, then connect timer-white to bare ground, along with timer-green wire.
4) Turn on electricity, and slide switch to ON-or-OFF. If lights come on, timer is wired correctly. If lights do not come on, then reverse timer-red and timer-black wires.

Installed several GE smart digital timers around the house: for lights over garage, front door, court yard. They are model 15086. The units work in timer mode as desired. I would think...

15086 timer:
Pressing door will override timer setting and manually turn switch ON-OFF.
Press door or open timer door, and press any of 4 buttons located in corners.
You know information posted so far:

However, you are moving the small switch from Timer to OFF.
And when switch is OFF, the override does not work because circuit is OFF.
You want a timer that can switch programming OFF, and not switch circuit OFF, so that device toggles between timer and ordinary switch.

Looking at timers on the market today, I cannot think of any in-wall programmable or box timer that does what you want. Each has manual override that reverses timer function, but when you set timer to OFF, the circuit is OFF.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Programmable.html#Aube

Plug-in-type timers have override button that turns programming off, and then you can operate table lamp normally with the lamp switch. But in that case, the lamp has separate switch that operates outside of timer functions.

GE 15070 24-hour mechanical timer could do what you want:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/GE-15070-mechanical-timer.jpg
In this specific case, when you wanted to operate timer like a light switch, you would move all the pins inward, and then use the on-off switch. The problem with this idea is the pins are tiny, and you need very good eyes or a light-source and small tool to continually adjust pins.

See GE timers and manuals:
