Joann, You will need to get the wiring diagram and timing chart and test at the point that it stops to determine where power to the timer motor is being lost.

Murpher, This issue sounds like the water valve may have been the issue with the unit. But with it working again it could also be the temperature switch that is faulty.

Gary, First, disconnect the wire harness from the timer WP3951702, check the brass contact terminals on the timer to see if any of them are bent twisted or loose. Check the insertion end of the harness/timer connector block for the same. Then check the lid switch 3949247V for proper mounting and operation, also check the lid hinges and bushings for excessive wear or damage. Then check the water level switch and tube W10337780 to make sure there aren't any clogs and that switch resets to the empty position.

Hello Terry. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit.
