Abstract
A means for preventing the bypassing of the timer protective mechanisms in an automatic washing machine is provided by a shield freely rotatable on the timer shaft fully covering the indicator dial across its face and over its edges and being transparent so as to allow the indicator to be seen, while preventing manual access to the control components associated with the timer shaft.
