Marcos, There are a couple of possibilities,based on your post description. The new timer has failed, not likely but possible. The air dome hose to the water level switch is kinked, twisted or blocked with debris. or the drain pump impeller has become loose on the drive lug and the unit does not drain properly. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Joe. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. You can now access and replace the lid switch 3949247V. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
