Does the timer advance all the way to Off and that's when you find it left full of water? Or does it stop it at some specific point? To where exactly do you turn the dial when you "advance it a bit and then it usually restarts?" The rinse phase as a whole begins after the wash agitation time is finished, and comprises multiple actions including draining the wash water, spinning to extract the soapy water, refilling with water and agitating, then draining again before the final spin. The problem occurs in all cycles, Regular, Perm Press (disgarding the brief pause that is supposed to occur at the Cool Down), and Delicate? The lid safety switch is mounted beneath the top deck and depressed by a plunger on the right edge of the lid. Is the plunger broken off? Do you see the switch lever in the hole? Do you hear a click when closing/opening the lid when the switch depresses/releases, or when pressing and releasing the switch lever with a pencil or some such? The switch can break in a way such that it may sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The machine won't drain or spin unless the switch actuates. |

I don't find a wiring diagram/timer sequence chart at the resources I can access. User manual suggests that Super Wash/18 mins is a true, traditional Super Wash sequence of 2 (or 4?) mins prewash, pause, partial drain/pause, then refill and continue through the full Normal cycle wash time. Do you use Super Wash often? Any time setting of Heavy/14 mins or less is a full Normal cycle without the added Super Wash process. There are three increments (6 mins) of wash time following the 8-mins hash mark. |

I almost always use Super Wash. I'll try using Heavy and see if it stops |

Ok, so far, I've only seen the wash stop mid cycle on Super Wash. Heavy and Normal run to completion. So, it's the dial itself? What do you think? P.S. I'll try the other settings hopefully this weekend |
