The wash cycle normally takes 40 mi, but has been taking much longer 90+ mins (slow, but does go through all of the cycles--lately, we have resorted to manually advancing the dial every 5 or so min to move through the cycles). From the research I've done, I'm guessing the timer or timer motor or both need replacing. Is there any way to differentiate which one(s) need(s) to be replaced (I'm trying only buy what is needed)? (By brother-in-law will be replacing the part/parts.) Also, are we further damaging the washer by manually advancing it? I would greatly appreciate your expertise.

Part number: AP2911971 Here is the timer motor part for my model: Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Motor - tmr, part number: AP3134952 I should have the timer motor replaced rather than the timer? Thank you!
