Whirlpool sm8525079 ticking when not running

Hi all. A few years ago this forum helped fix my whirlpool dryer, which has been working like a champ since!
Today I’m here about my washer.

It still works fine, but I noticed a gentle ticking sound when not in use. I thought it would be best to diagnose and replace now, instead of when it breaks.

Thanks!

Looks like it might be the timer… A gentle ticking coming from the settings knob. Not cheap to replace so if/when this fails then I may get a new washer unit.
