Hi!

If the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:
It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.
It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.
Please do rate this solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

It's probably the inlet valve, not the timer. If you check for voltage/drop at the valve wiring, you can be more sure. With one wire disconnected from the valve, you should see line voltage between the wires, when the unit is plugged in, and the timer is on in fill mode. I've probably changed a hundred bad valves for every bad timer, if you don't have a voltage tester or just want to take a chance. They're cheaper too, and a little easier to change.

water valve bad, replace, easy fix

replace timer

the pump is blocked...............

it could be the brushes on the motor
does the motor turn

Push down on lid or lid switch.

silicone them in place.

if it stops at #6 u need to change timer and motor

The agitator, water pump, and spin cycle run off of the same motor. There are a number of possibilities why it doesn't go into the spin cycle from a fault in the timer, a faulty lid safety switch, a faulty transmission, or a broken drive belt. If you are comfortable with a DYI, get out your multimeter and start testing the timer and lid switch. If they check out OK, then take off the back panel and check the belt and transmission. If you are not comfortable with tracking down the problem, call an appliance repairman or if the washer is over 10 years old consider buying a replacement.
