The instructions list three different models of this timer switch. The difference between models only appears to be how the wires connect. The timer came with two screws to mount to the electric box, and two screws to make the wire connections. It also came with the timer plate and nut to fasten the plate, and the knob. Wire connections were easy, although you have to look closely to see the molded in "line" and "load" markings. Basically its black wire feed to the line connection, then the fan (or other device) to the load connection. Make neutral to neutral (white) and ground to ground (bare copper) connections as typical of any wall switch. And like the description says, "Supplied with a molded white time dial plate designed to fit either toggle or decorator style switch plates ". That means it only comes with the timer plate, but not a switch plate. (the time dial plate is the rectangle with the time marks on it. It fits a standard wall plate with large rectangular opening).It works as it supposed to and seems accurate with its timeing. The knob was quite hard to turn the first time, but after a few days of use it has loosened up in both directions. The clicking noise of the timer can't be heard over the sound of the whole house fan that is directly overhead. With the power off, I noticed the timer is quiet enough to use with bedroom ceiling fans (which I am considering doing).All in all, its appears to be a good buy. Much less expensive than the choices at the home centers, and at 6 hour timing it is just what we needed for our attic fan.Update: The Master Flow whole house attic fan came with a rocker switch with Off, Low, and High positions. When the fan was installed, I put in a two gang electric box (double box) because I knew I wanted to add a timer. But now with this timer installed, the rocker switch Off position was no longer needed, plus finding a cover plate with the decorator opening on one side for the time, and a custom size hole for a rocker switch on the other was impossible. So I tossed the rocker and got a regular 3-way wall switch, and wall plate with the regular toggle switch opening on one side, and the decorator opening on the other. Then I wired the power to the timer, then to the 3-way. So now the timer functions as the on/off switch, and the 3-way toggle is just High and Low. Much better functionality, and nice clean wall switch plate.The whole house fan I have is a 30" belt drive model that is rated at 4 amps, so this switch is more than sufficient.BTW, the timer switch specs/ratings are:Resistive: 20 Amp, 125 VAC, 50/60 Hz10 Amp, 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz10 Amp, 277 VAC, 50/60 HzTungsten: 7 Amp, 125 VACMotor: 1 HP, 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz2 HP, 240 VAC, 50/60 HzOperating Temperature: -40¢ªF to 104¢ªF (-40¢ªC to 40¢ªC)Style: Can be used with decorator and toggletype switch platesDimensions: 2.79" H x 1.6" W x 1.19" D ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple mechanism and easy to install *by on Reviewed in the United States September 12, 2012* Having gotten tired of passing by my bathroom only to hear the vent fan roaring away from having been on no telling how long, I looked around and found this simple one-to-one swap for my existing switch. Design-wise it is a spring loaded timer that can be set for anywhere from about 2 to 15 minutes. Setting it causes the fan to come on, and then the timer simply winds down to cut the fan off after the set amount of time. The unit comes in either white or beige (which for some reason costs more on Amazon). The installation package includes screws for the power connection, screws for the switch plate, a plastic knob, and a small plastic plate with timer markings and retainer nut. The timer plate is flanged to fit a traditional switch plate, and is sized to fit into a decora styled plate. By the same token, the unit has screw points for either style. In my estimation, the thought that went into the design makes this a 5-star product. Obviously, it does require an electrical installation, and if you don't have the confidence to replace a wall switch, by all means call an electrician or a more confident friend to do the work.If you are doing the install, here's some info that might be useful. The unit's connection points are clearly marked as "line" (for the input power "hot" wire) and "load" (for the appliance it is being connected to, in my case a fan). It's usually pretty easy to determine which cable is bringing power into the junction box, and normally the black wire for the cable is hot (that being said it's always best to check using a volt meter between what you think is hot and the ground wire - you obviously should drop power to the box before proceeding to installation). The timer may work if hooked up in reverse, but I assume there is a reason the manufacturer has designated which connection is to be hot. The connection mechanism uses a screw with an integrated wire clamp to hold an inserted wire, easy to do if you have plenty of wire to work with. In my case I didn't have long enough wires in the junction box to make this kind of connection, so I first attached a pig tail wire to each connection point. For the actual install I attached each pig tail to the line and load wires in the junction box using wire nuts. Just a thought, but that may well be an easier approach even if you have plenty of wire to work with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install, works great *by on Reviewed in the United States March 12, 2014* I was looking for a 15 minute mechanical timer switch, and after reading through the reviews, decided to try this one to control my bathroom exhaust fan.The package includes all the parts you need to install the switch, and the timer readout dial plate fits right over the regular switch plate that you already have. The switch fit perfecly into my double-gang switch box, and installation was a breeze. It took less than 5 minutes. The instructions are clear and easy to understand, just two wires to unhook from your old switch, and attach to the new one.As far as construction, it seems well made. I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the other reviews, but I feel that this is constructed about as well as any off-the-shelf electrical parts you will buy anywhere. Fit and finish were fine. As mentioned in several other reviews, the knob does require some force to mount on the shaft, but that's probably a good thing. It shouldn't loosen and come off after extensive use.In operation, it does make some sound (kind of like a wind-up kitchen timer), but isn't too noticeable when the fan is running. When it reaches shut-off, it makes a distinctive click. You can adjust the time, either adding to or subtracting from it, after making the intial setting. You can turn it back to "zero" to shut it off, but I don't know if that would be good for it if done regularly. I set it for 15 minutes, then turned it back to 5 minutes, and it didn't seem to be any problem at all.Overall, I'd recommend this item. It has a one-year warranty, and was made in Tunisia.Update after 9 months of use:Still going strong as ever. I can only guess how much money it has saved me in lost-heat costs from the house when people used to forget to turn off the old, regular switch, and it would run for hours. Set it and forget it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intermatic FD60MWC 60-Minute Spring-Wound In-Wall Countdown Timer Switch for Auto-Off control of Fans and Lights, White - Intermatic 146MT574 Timer Knob for FD Series Spring Wound Timers - White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/3047921-fd60mwc-60-minute-spring-wound-in-wall-countdown-timer-switch](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/3047921-fd60mwc-60-minute-spring-wound-in-wall-countdown-timer-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
