Our Kenmore top load direct drive washer overflows on a rinse cycle. I suspect the water inlet valves are working okay since it hasn't overflowed on a wash cycle, nor if I manually start it on a second rinse cycle. Is it possible for the timer sticking to cause the washer to overflow? Is there not an overflow sensor that should stop this from happening? If I have to change the timer, how do I remove the knob? Also, Kenmore calls the switch a "Cycle Selector". Isn't that really the timer? What would be the correct part number for the Cycle Selector (timer?) switch? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide for me.

Since it does not overflow in wash cycle I suspect the timere is the issue.

This is the part, the cycle switch controls speed.

Part number: AP3100187
Part number: AP3100187


To get to it take off the plastic cover pieces on the console and take out the two screws that hold the console to the cabinet. The timer knob will unscrew when it is pressed in.
