The poor thing is 20 years old :O) Thanks.

I googled "fix it yourself washing machine repair" and came up with this analysis "t could be a timer problem, but I usually find the culprit is a bad water level control switch (also called a pressure switch or a fill switch)." at

I also found this site -

When I fixed my washer, having a laptop right there so I could disembowel and reassemble it step by step.
After I diagnosed the problem, I called Sears parts and ordered the needed part (he troubleshot the problem with me again just to make sure I got the correct part). You could just call them and work it out.
I hope this helps
