Here are the symptoms ..
Washer will Spin and drain in all wash cycles. In Soak Mode ... it will fill the tub ..agitator spins but stops somewhere in the middle of the cycle with tub full and then I move the control knob one click at a time until the spin and rinse kicks in and then it completes the cycle.
What it doesn't do .. at the start of any Regular, permanent press, delicate wash cycle .. it's dead. Does not fill the tub ... dial does not advance ... just sits there.
I have ohmed the lid switch ... it's fine. Opened up the control board ... the washer's frame ... sniffed around .. do not smell anything burnt ... the washer had been used heavily for the day and then stopped. Load was found with washer full of water.
The timer is 3358741B ... is there a check lit to ohm it out to insure it's bad?
All help appreciated.
Thank you,
John

It does sound like the timer.
The best way to check it out is to go ahead and replace it. If you buy from this site and the part does not fix the problem you can return it.

Hello:
I got back to the old house and the timer was waiting for me ... thank you very much. Here's the issue ... the timer appears to be exactly "fit form and function" except for 1 thing ... the two mounting holes that were threaded on the old timer are not threaded on the new one. Is there a different type of fastner I should use?
I noticed another thread (no pun intended) on the site where some one had a similar issue, but didn't see a solution other than send the part back. .... I guess I could go buy some self tapping screws.
Regards,
John

As Far as I can tell .. they are equivalent. Outside of the lack of threads ... when you hold them in your hand .. you can't see any difference. I picked up a pair of self tapping screws #10 ..same as the other ones and it went together fine.
So here's the issue ... it's operating the same ... here's an overview of the problem...
It can never start a wash cycle. ... but if you click along it will start up in the middle of the cycle. It then stops a click before the Rinse. ... if you click along inside the Rinse Cycle it will start up and go right on through SPIN and complete.
This is the same for all types of Washing except Soak where it starts up just fine and stops mid way through ... then you click along one at a time and start ups up and completes.
Is there a common component to the start of a Wash and the start of a Rinse .. a solenoid or something?
Regards,
John

Hi John, Check for continuity between the V & T water level switch terminals at that time (the wires have to be removed). Check for 120 VAC between the terminal T and the ground (the wire should be connected to the terminal V). Post the results. Gene.

So ... just to make sure I am checking things correctly
I ohmed out the wire harness from the water level switch to the timer plug (purple, pink and brown) ... all read < 1 ohms
The Resistance between V and T on the Switch (no wires connected) was < 1 ohm
With the wire connect to terminal V ... I am not seeing anything on on T at the water level switch
when doing the AC measurements, I am not doing much of anything with the Timer switch other than push it in or out to see if it makes a difference when (washer is plugged in )... should I set it at a particular position?

For what it's worth .. when the washer is filling during "soak cycle"... there is 120 VAC on V and P
