Although the washer stops, the timer dial continues through each stage till the end. I can hear it ticking quietly. There is no other noise or movement. I have replaced the lid switch but this changed nothing - (this model agitator normally works with the lid up - it only stops if lid lifted during spin). I checked the agitator dogs - they are ok.
In the machine under the front control panel will be a module that controls the wash agitation. Have it checked out as they fail . There is no connection between the timer and this unit as it comes in to play when the water reaches a set level. The timer just keeps working through the cycles believing the washer is agitating.
SOURCE: Won't spin, makes clunking noise, drains fine
If it agitates fine , with normal noise , drains with lid closed , then the problem is probably the transmission .

You need a timer the motor contacts are probably burnt.

The problem is solved! I was continuing troubleshooting and when I looked at the timer I noticed that one of the connector plugs was not set in properly. I managed to reset it and the washer now works properly. So it was the lid switch after all. What happened was that by lifting off the top panel to replace the lid switch, the timer connection got pulled out a little. I didn't find this until now - a week later. But at least I learned all about my washing machine....
