Oh well. I replaced the switch and it looked OK for a few days. Now it happened again. I checked the hose from the switch to the basin and its completely clear. I even blew compressed air through to see if it was a little clogged.
Any ideas on whar to do now. This is getting frustrating.

Charlie, pull your drain hose out of the drain, and tell me how far it went in. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

If thats the hose your talking about, it's about 3 inches in. maybe about halfway between the end and the big bend.
Is it possible that something is wrong between where the pressure hose fits onto the drum and the drum? I blew air in throught the hose and I could see it come out in the drum, but doesnt the water level switch work on pressure coming back through that tube? So, if there wasn't enough (or any) pressure coming back, the switch wouldn't turn off the flow of water? I pulled the hose off while the tun was full of water and there seemed to be no pressure.
Or maybe I'm just getting frustrated and trying to think of anything.

I think I know what you are thinking on this so I pulled the drain house out so that it's just in the drain for some airflow. Still the same problem. Could the timer do this?

Yes it can. It is hard for me to pin this one down from here. But it is possible it could be the timer. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

I'm thinking it's time to get another machine. The timer has got to be pretty expensive. Are there any simple tests to check it?
