My washer stuck in rinse/spin cycle and overfilled the barrel. It flooded our house. Is the timer replacement a fix?

The pressure switch (AP3019703) inside the user panel is what determines the water level. Check the clear hose that runs to the switch for a hole or tear and if it's in good shape, replace the pressure switch.

If I replace this switch, should I still replace the timer? I think that my original problem will still be there unless I change the timer.

Thanks again, Jeff

If the timer is not advancing, then yes replace it. But if it is just stalling and waiting for the pressure switch to close, then no. The timer will pause when the water valves are on and will wait for the pressure switch to close to start moving again. So if the timer only stalls at the point water is entering the tub, I would think the pressure switch is the only part needed.
