Lately, I've found standing water and wet clothes in it after the cycle has finished. If I let the cycle run normally from the beginning, it fills normally and the timer dial moves normally. It agitates normally, then keeps on agitating through the rinse & spin cycles, and then stops (without eve spinning) once the dial get to the end of the cycle. If I turn the timer kno and position it back to the spin line and engage it again, it will spin and drain just fine from there.
- If I let a cycle run from the beginning, then stop it when the dial gets to rinse (by pressing in the timer knob and then pulling it back out), it will go into spin mode right away and drain properly.
- If I let a cycle run from the beginning, then stop it when the dial gets to rinse (by opening the lid and then closing it again), then it will go into spin mode right away and drain properly.
- No change in these symptoms in any of the cycles (regular, heavy,
delicate, etc) So, as long as I manually put it into a spin mode, it works fine. But if the cycle just runs normally, then it just keeps agitating and
never spins or drains.
NOTE: Lid switch already checked and is not the problem!

Since it will spin under some conditions this does not suggest a transmission issue but a timer issue. Try replacing it and see if that fixes things.
