Can hear the timer continue to run as it goes by the stop mode on the dial. Pushing the timer dial button will stop or opening the lid will stop.
You will need to replace the timer. Here is the part to order.
Thanks for your reply. Was thinking the timer may be bad but want to give you a couple of other details to see if you still think the same. If you rotate the timer dial to the regular wash cycle and then pull out the knob like normal, the water will start to fill but the agitation will start to work right away unless you leave the lid open. With the lid open, it works normally and will fill until until it reaches the correct water level and then starts the agitation. However if you close the lid anytime during the fill cycle, it will start agitating. It works exactly the same (incorrectly) during the rinse cycle. Once rinse is complete it will do the drain properly as long as the lid is closed. If lid is open during drain, it reacts properly with the switch not allowing motion. After drain and spin you have to push the timer dial in to stop the machine otherwise it will keep going and start filling with water again even if you leave the lid open. In other words, the only way to stop the timer is by pushing in the button. It keeps going right past the red stop dashes on the dial. Looking forward to your additional feedback.
Yes, it is definitely the timer. Sound like there is a stuck contact inside of it. replace that timer and all should be good. Keep me posted!

raise control panel ~1 inch and flip over backwards.
Kenmore pressure switches are adjustable, the adjustment is hidden.
An internal spring stretches over time and does not react properly.
to test whether just the adjustment is required,
The water level switch body contains a small spring that is not really up to the job and stretches over years,

The lid switch is the culprit. Push down on the lid it should start. It needs to be adjusted . the tab on the lid is not activating the switch. Try triming the door bumpers.

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.

Replace the timer - it is failed.
