Seems that when the timer switch is pulled out never goes into "fill" cycle for the water, just seems to bypass and go right into cycle. Checked the level switch with meter and blowing into tube, everything ok, just curious if timer switch is shot. Tried to check with meter but everything read in continuity, not sure what to check next.

HHHHHHHeellllllppp.
Thanks Verm

Here are your Replacement parts for General Electric WHDRR418E3WW Washer | AppliancePartsPros.com

As with most GE's I could not find any tech data on-line. They like to keep it a secret.

You may have found your problem.
The water level switch should be open (infinite ohms) when the unit is empty.
Remove power from the unit and measure it.
If it is 0 ohms then it's contacts are probably welded together and the unit thinks that it is always full.

Remember to disconnect one side of the switch when measurnig it, this prevents you from reading an alternate/parallel circuit.

Thanks appreciate it, did all that, go a good continuity reading across 1 "tang" and 0 across the other. As of 30 min ago, re-plugged everything in, now is filling but wouldn't stop. Shut off put on manual vacuum pump to drum vent which attatches to pressure switch reading water fill/load size. Still nothing, had to manually advance cycle. Now will not agitate clothes, only goes to fill, spin, and drain. Probably is timer switch.
Thanks Verm
