I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II washer, Model #LSQ8511KQ0. When I start a load it normally agitates hard for a few minutes, stops for 30 seconds and then switches to a softer agitation. It's not switching to the softer agitation. I've tried manually turning it to different spots on the control and the only place I can get it to agitate slowly is on the delicate cycle. It stops dead at the point where it should drain.
What do you suppose it could be?
The cycle timer may be defective and will need replaced. Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for telling me your problem is solved, but your brother
in-law did a good thing by not straight wiring the switch. That keeps arms from being pulled into the spin cycle. That service guy charged $155.00 more than I would. Hey you helped me learn something today! Thanks JT

It was not the cycle timer, but the lid switch.
Unfortunately I found out after it was fixed that my brother in law could have hard wired it... but instead I paid nearly $200 to have it repaired. Next time I'm calling HIM FIRST! uuggh!
