Pull front panel and check the motor connector, you might have a burnt pin. If ok, check your timer connector pins for a bad connection.
When the washer becomes intermittent, move the timer to another cycle, if now ok, you probably have a bad timer.

Seems like a bad timer. I usually confirm by pulling cover off motor and check for burnt contacts.

Very rare these switches go bad unless oil gets in them. Verify with meter good ohms when activated; ie. less than 1 ohm.
Check timer also.
