After a test run I moved the washer back into its permanent place and now at the beginning of any cycle it starts to agitate immediately and doesn't fill with water. After doing some research it seems that it could be a timer issue but considering the price I want to be 100% sure before putting more money into this machine. Any assistance would be appreciated.

If it still starts agitating right away, the timer is defective. If not, unplug the pressure hose from the switch, plug wiring connector back in. If it starts agitating right away, the switch is bad. If it's ok, blow through the hose to see if it's clear. Eric
