Check to make sure that there is no issue with the wiring and that there are no pinched or damaged wires. It would also be recommended to make sure that the motor is not locking up causing this issue.
I checked the connections and the wires aren’t crimped or loose. It was agitating and spinning. I was just having to manually advance the dial thru the cycles/ the dial isn’t advancing itself thru the cycles. The breaker tripping started after replacing the timer in August.
Re-commenting because it has been a week with no response.
With the wires being good then this would be a suspected timer that would be the issue.
