A buddy gave me a washer that he had no problem with its old but works. I take it home and all it does is fill up and does not got to the next cycle. The reason for using this washer is the last one i had which was only 6 yrs old did the same. Fill up and not a go to the next step of washing the clothes. Can someone please give me some help. I thought it was a bad timer so I ordered a new one and it did the same.

I would start by checking the lid switch. This is a common failure. If it checks out OK, I would check the water level switch.
The water level switch itself rarely fails, but it is controlled by water pressure as the tub fills. The thing to look for is a clog or other restriction in the air tube that goes from the tub to the switch, and the air dome at the bottom right of the tub.

thanks for the response but it doesn't even seem like the timer is moving. I hear no clicking niose and the timer does not move.
