When testing machines that we had brought into the shop to repair or machines that we had reconditioned for sale we put them trough an extensive test program which would involve testing only parts of programs at times so we would turn the knob to a part and start it off. Inside the timer is like an old fasioned music box, it revolves slowly and is shaped to trip switchs and turn things on and off. turning it when its on will cause not problems.

Well.......it was a long time ago (12 years) and it was my friend who told me what was wrong with it because he was working for hotpont at the time.
I also remember it because I had won £70 and my wife bought something with the winnings, Then I had to buy a new timer/programmer which was £68.99
