My washer only works20 seconds then stops. I got it filled last night on was cycle for small load it started wash for a short period of time then stopped. Then it only worked on rinse cycle but only for 20 seconds. I've tried unplugging the washer then plugging it back in just to get it to go another 20 seconds hen stops again.some times i'll try lifting the lid and closing it back down some times i'l hear a hum and the washer sarts up again for another 20 seconds then stops again other times i'll do the same and hear nothing like its a hit or miss. I even tried starting the was over from wash cycle on large load and got it throuh wash and almost through rinse cycle then it stopped again and never got it going again. I'd like to know if its time to replace the washer or can it be repaired for cheaper? I bought it at a lowes n Ohio in 2006.
SOURCE: Washer continuously fills but drains at the same time during rinse cycle.
you have the drain pipe too low into tthe house drain pipe, raise the washers drain pipe up , you only need four inches down into the hous drain
also the house drain pipe needs to be as high as the lid of the machine before you put the washer drain tube into the house drain
you have a syphoning effect

When the washer initially fills for the wash, is it only hot water entering the drum? Try switching the water temperature between hot and cold as it fills. If any of them show little or no water getting through, it sounds too easy but check to make sure water supply taps are on, and that the cold/hot fill hoses aren't reversed. Remove the fill hoses and check any of the screen filters for blockage (in the hoses and in the inlet water valve). When the machine stops and waits to fill but all you hear is a hum, it sounds like there is power going to the valve but water is not able to get through it.
Good luck!
SOURCE: Agitator starts at begining of cycle before washer is full
Please be carful as running the agitator without enough water will overheat and kick out the motor, however it should be ok when it resets itself.
Yes, the machine should stop agitating when you lift the lid so this too is part of the problem.
After looking at the print I can only suggest that the cam contacts in the timer ( contacts 12 and 14) that start the motor are burned and stuck together.

If the timer and lid switches are funtional and the machine is filling and shutting off correctly that only leaves the motor. Have the motor tested or replace it. Even though the timer is running it is possible that it is still at fault. If you have access to another timer try switching them to make sure it isn't the timer. This does sound like a faulty motor and I would start with that assumption.
