Washer automatically restarts

A rarely used Whirlpool top loading washing machine my parents have at their cabin is starting over in its cycle. After it completes an entire cycle, it starts over again unless you watch it and stop it. They bought a new one and wanted to know if my husband and I want it.
Is it something we could fix?

We need the model number of the washer to be of any help.
