Woods 59402 40-Amp Timer for Heavy Duty Appliances and Outlets, Repeats Daily DPST Review

Woods 59402 40-Amp Timer for Heavy Duty Appliances and Outlets, Repeats Daily DPST

I have this set up on my well pump to keep the pump cycles down (it pumps into a gravity feed storage tank). Instructions are a little sparse, but I got it right on my first attempt, so must be reasonably clear.
Manual/off/timer switch is good. Timer wheel easy to set and I like that you can't lose the pins.
I had previously (mistakingly) bought a 59396 30-Amp Timer without noting the "SPST" notation. To be honest I'm not sure who needs a 30 AMP single pole switch. But this one (DPST) works fine.

These switches are a great way to put a night light in areas where an outlet isn't available, like a stairwell, and also for a more streamlined look than a plug-in night light. They are bright and illuminate areas very well. Probably too bright for a bedroom; although the outlet model would probably be ok there, since the installation would be below eye level. One note: these require hot, neutral and ground wire connections to be available.

The best home automation upgrade you can make is to install these on your bathroom fans. The timer never forgets to turn off the fan. The real energy savings is that you do not needlessly blow a bunch of heated or cooled air out of your house.
After 11 years, the buttons on my most heavily used unit started to fall off. This is because each button is held on by four extremely thin and brittle fingers. I'm a bit miffed that I have to replace the entire unit just for this. Hopefully in the past decade Leviton has corrected this weakness in the design.
Here are my recommendations for these units:
* In new construction, install deep junction boxes everywhere so that if you decide to install bulky controls like this timer, they'll fit
* Install only units that can handle "inductive load", like the LTB models. This means they can control motors and fluorescent lighting. Lighting options are changing these days, so don't limit yourself to "incandescent only".
* Install 30 minute LTB30-1LZ or 15 minute LTB15-1LZ timers for half bathrooms. That's plenty of time to evacuate a small room of noxious odors.
* Install 60 minute LTB60-1LZ timers for full baths. The extra time is needed to clear out all the moisture, and you can always choose less time.
* In the garage I use a 2 hour LTB02-1LZ timer for the lights over the cars and laundry
* For the lights over my workbench where I am engaged for longer periods of time, I use a 12 hour LTB12-1LZ timer

The switch is great--but only for incandescent lighting! I installed this for the bathroom fan, based on the information provided by Amazon in the section described as "from the manufacturer". However, that is not what it says on Leviton's site.
When I installed it on a new shower fan/light assembly, all seemed fine. It timed out perfectly, however, when I looked at the fan with the switch off, I saw it slowly rotating. At first I thought it was air being drafted by the impeller. Then I shut the power off to the fan switch and it stopped spinning. I have since gone on Leviton's site and discovered this description. I have pasted it here:
"6515M-W

My 4-year old daughter has learned how to turn on lights and the bathroom fan, but not to turn them off. Also, I often find that guests turn on the bathroom fan to help remove any foul odors, but they never come back to turn them off.
This timer is a perfect solution to both problems. It replaces a regular wall switch and gives you four buttons: 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and off. After the appropriate period, the switch turns off automatically.
The only downside is a very slight clicking noise when you turn the switch on or off, as the relay kicks in. The noise isn't annoying, but you should know about it before you buy.

Don't buy this type of switch for a ceiling fan.
I bought this to control a ceiling fan in my bathroom and it caused it to buzz/humm. It was very annoying and unacceptable. The fan is a standard type of 3 speed fan with a pull chain, not the electronic speed/remote control type.
I ended up buying an Intermatic brand switch that has the rotary knob and it works perfect.

I have been an electrician for 30 years. I installed 8 of these timers in my own house 5 years ago. Given that I installed them correctly they have worked wonderfully. I have never had one lockup on me. However, I have had 5 fail because the buttons broke off. They appear to rely on a set of very small plastic tabs that retain them against the spring tension. I have found that a tab will break off causing the button to hang crooked then eventually another tab will fail and the whole button will fall off. There is no way to repair short of total switch replacement as Leviton doesn't offer replacement buttons. The frequency of use certainly seems to be a factor as most of the failures are in the rooms most used. However, I think that they have a flawed design or material spec. problem. I recommend that you save your receipt for the warranty claim. Maybe they will get the message. I like the product just wish they would hold up better.

I bought this for our bathroom because I always hate when I'm at someone else's house and I have to fumble around in the dark bathroom for the light switch. This thing barely lights up. You'd almost have to walk into the room several feet, then turn around to see it. I had expected it to be a little brighter.

As a commercial and residential electrician for over 14 years, I have been a fan of Lutron Products. I have always like the sleek styling of their dimming switches, with the small sliders . One of the reasons i bought this switch over the Leviton (Leviton LTB30-1LZ) one was it does not need a neutral for it to work. I also like the tap twice to turn on ( and by passing the countdown timer ). I use this in a small bathroom to control the fan ( Panasonic ) as i like to let it run a few minutes after a shower to full vent out the moisture, and the easy tap up or down to adjust the time works well. Installation was simple, 3 wires, the ground wire, the hot and the switch leg. That's it. The switch does not get hot since it's not dimming. The switch is a bit bulky, and it's not a problem if you do not have a lot of wire coming in or out of the switch box, in my case i had a separate feed for my lighting.

Does exactly what it is designed to do. I had heard somewhere that you should run your bathroom fan for three times the length of your shower...but i am out the door two minutes after my shower, hence a need for the timer. The light switch gradually brings the light up to full brightness, which seems easier on my eyes first thing in the morning.

The Lutron Maestro 300 Watt Dual Incandescent Dimmer and Timer Switch is a combination controller that incorporates two controls into the space of one. With this switch, you can control the brightness level of a light source (incandescent bulb up to 300W) with the dimmer switch on top and/or operate a separate fan or light (2.5A lighting load or general purpose fan) on a 5-60 minute selectable timer before turning off automatically. It is the perfect solution for retrofitting stacked switches or for adding lighting zones to an application without increasing the size of the junction box. Built-in LEDs on the dimmer indicate light levels and glow softly to guide you to the control in the dark while the LEDs on the timer switch indicate time remaining before turn-off of the controlled load. Features a clean, flush, stylish appearance. Coordinate using Lutron Claro Wallplates, sold separately.

The build quality is better than most standard SP and 3-way dimmers, the package came with three different color faces and it can be used as either a SP or 3way (no face plate however)... actually it's a 3way that has one of the terminals taped off for use as a SP, then take off the tape to access the 3rd terminal. For the most part it's what I expected, EXCEPT!!!.... unless I missed it in the description, it took installing the switch to realize something wasn't working right, I was replacing an old dimmer in a standard 3-way configuration (leaving the other 3-way switch alone was the plan), it took 5 minutes to get the switch swapped out for the new one, but it didn't work right. I checked the wiring 3 times, changed the location of the dimmer from the hot to the load location and back again, rechecked I had the 2 travelers right... but still it didn't work.
So I went to the directions (fished them out of the garbage actually) to see what I could be missing. Buried at the bottom of the Warnings & Cautions list was the answer: "Vizia Dimmers are NOT compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches, the MUST be used with compatible Vizia coordinating remotes...", SO this means I need to buy another Vizia switch to replace the other 3-way switch on the circuit.
I wish I had know this before I bought the first switch, but into it for $20... I needed to spend another $16 to make it work. The product is great and works as advertised when you get all Vizia parts, I'm just put off because it basically cost me $36 to replace one 3-way dimmer.
