Turning dial to other settings gets nothing going, except if I turn it back to the beginning, when it starts in like it's going to wash a load. No drain, no spin, no rinse. Problem with timer/controler? Thanks!!! Mike mdempster1@yahoo.com attached the following image(s):

It should be. If not, they are not "gurus". This is a Whirlpool direct drive model, the most ubiquitous design on the market for the last 30 years. Lid switch failures are common and on your particular model, if the lid switch fails, the washer will still fill and agitate but will not drain or spin and timer will not continue to advance after agitation stops.
