I have a GE washer that I have tested the timer by checking the ohms, put the black on red power and the red on the water level switch and it ohms out to 00.0, so if the timer is testing good , what is making the washer not advance the cycles itself, we are having to manually each cycle to get the washer to work, please help
thanks Randy:confused:

All your test did was check the timer on/off switch. If your washer is filling ok all the time and works when advancing manually, then we already know the switch is ok. The timer has other multiple sets of contacts as well as an AC motor that makes the contact cam drum rotate. Buy the timer from APP and you can return it if it doesn't work. I would not advise buying a discount timer or one from e bay or amazon.
