I also have a GE top loading washer WHDSR315. The washer some time can advance by itself to a certain point, then it stops until I turn the knob clockwise a little bit to start the next step. I have tried different wash cycle choices (Cotton or Easy Care). Both wash cycle only moves to fill and agitate. Then it sits there until I turn the knob/dial to the next step. Is this also a timer problem? Thanks.
