Hello, I have an 8 year old Maytag neptune frontload washer and yesterday I

experieced my first problem. The washer washes fine until it reaches down to 7

min. and skips to 0 min. and unlocks leaving me with wet clothes. It does not enter

into the last spin cycle that wrings the clothes.

I tried to lookup the problem, but I am not good with appliances.

I read that it could be the timer skipping cycles and needs to be replaced, but I don't

know how to go about doing that.

any help is appreciated. Thanks.
