Replacing timer/prog control

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Have faulty control "Lifestlye LP111" timer works but select and advance does not. It is 10 years old. If I remember right it was an ACL model.
So looking for any easy replace, seen Lifestyle LP111 listed but not quite the same unit.
On select function the existing has:
on, off, timed
Two versions of listed show either:
on, off, twice, once
or
on, off, timed, once
both Lifestyle LP111, what are the differences?

 

[Mr Smyth]

The difference between 'timed' and 'twice' is number of times the programmer will come on/off

Twice = Twice a day

Timed = More than twice a day often 3 but sometimes more.

Should be 'Thrice'

So timed is better than twice?

 

[Mr Smyth]

Now there's a thought........ what is 'better'

Me personally on a 24hr program twice would be nice!
