The washer was stopping at each part of the wash cycle
I looked at the exploded view that was posted on the website which was a big help. I took off the back and took off the control knob. I then unscrewed the timer from the console and it took a couple of minutes to realize that the timer moved to the left and had these lugs that anchored it to the console. The fact that there was only one screw should have been a give away. The hard part was disconnecting the wiring plug from the old timer.
The install was in reverse and easy.
The only problem is that while the washer no longer stops at every step of the cycle it still periodically stops at the 2nd and the 3rd rinse.
I don't know what that is, I suspect it is a relay but I am having trouble figuring out which relay it is.
Overall, it ws a piece of cake and the washer does run better.
