If I open and close the lid at the time when the drain cycle should kick in, then it will drain. This happens for the initial drain cycle and the drain cycle after rinse. Any idea what this could be? My problems started after I washed a fairly heavy rug one night (that I should not have in hind sight) and woke up the next morning with washer full of water and the timer was on off.

Because the drain doesn't kick in, the agitation just keeps on going until off position. The timer dial does advance and I can see when it advances to the point where the drain should happen but it doesn't until I open and close the lid.

Opening/closing the lid cycles power to the timer but that doesn't explain why it's doing what it's doing. If you get the timer from here and it doesn't work, you can return it. Eric
