Hi

I am having problems with our washer. When you push the timer switch in to shut off the washer, it continues to run. The machine also acts confused as if it does not know whether to fill, rinse, or spin. It will perform all the functions as needed, but it takes some fiddling around with the switch. It also acts like the switch does not "count down" and move to the next cycle as needed. If you try to run it through a cycle, the thermal protect on the motor will kick on-you have to unplug it, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in.

Are there any parts other than the switch it could be?
Any sure way before I order the part that I can absolutely know it is the switch?

Which cycle overheats the motor?

The odd thing is with the timer knob pressed in fully, the machine wants to continue to try to run-almost like a relay is stuck. With the knob in, depending on where you put it in the cycle, it will keep trying to run, and acts as if the knob is pulled out. When you plug it in, even with the knob depressed, it makes a loud buzzing noise. Plugging it in and unplugging it repeatedly does not make a difference.

I have already tried a timer which I borrowed from a local friend.

Any help?

Thanks
Al

Remove the cover of the motor start switch and check for welded shut start switch. If ok, just order a new timer. I don't think you replaced the timer with the correct one, rather rare a used timer was the exact right one with same part #.
