The agitator starts as soon a cycle starts, the water fills to normal level, washes the clothes, spins and rinses are abbreviated, final spin goes well until the last few minutes and then starts to fill with water again. I changed the fill/temp controller last year (wouldn't fill at all), any ideas? My thought is the timer.

Unfortunately, the temp switch is at fault again. You have the classic symptoms of a faulty temp switch (agitates right away with empty tub and adds water at end of spin cycle). This is actually a load sense/temp controller. It is a high failure item in these load sensing washers.

thanks eric, either part is easy to replace and the load temp sensor is cheaper, usually my method of troubleshooting, but I was thrown off by how quickly the replacement broke down

Thanks again Eric,
Some how the washer has started to work correctly again, I sent back the timer without really opening the box. I will wait until the bugger goes spastic again and replace the load/temp controller.
Thank you again for your help

Phil. I am having the same problem with my Whirlpool washer. Do you have any idea why it fixed itself? I really don't want to have to do repairs unless absolutely necessary.
