i sent a message in regards to the automatic knob not working on its own and was advised i need a new timer-how much would that be and can i order it and fix it myself
Don't know where you are so can't advise where to get one and cost. This is the internet so you could be anywhere in the world. Suggest you ask your local Simpson retail shop to get you a price or advise you where to order from.
