Also, your timer may have burnt contacts causing the motor to overheat. Just pull cover and check.

Normally, I would check the motor current when agitating, may be drawing excessive current. You might want to feel the motor to see if it's hot. If the motor voltages are low in agitate, this would confirm a bad timer.
