I bought and replaced the timer unit. It was an easy fix that took me about ten minutes. It would have taken five minutes if instructions came with the product, which I would have appreciated. The hand up was figuring out how the front knob came off, and that there was a little cotter type pin holding the mechanism onto the face of the washer control panel. Put the new timer on, plugged in the two switch harnesses, and put it back together. It worked perfectly.
