What is the most probable cause (or causes) of this and what steps should I take to determine which parts are needed to correct this problem? Before it started blowing fuses it would occasionally quit between cycles until I pushed in the timer knob, turned it to another setting, and pulled out the knob again, then it even stopped responding to that tactic.

Sounds like you have a dead short somewhere. Unplug it and measure across the line cord for resistance, if you get 0 ohms then you have a dead short for sure. Note you will need a decent meter to do this and set it at a low scale. Try different timer settings, it may help localize the problem.
