Turned out my problem was the lid switch and the Timer is not returnable once opened and installed... but I am glad to have the new one anyway since the old one was showing signs of excessive wear...

Shuts itself off while 6 minutes remain in wash cycle. Will not advance to drain, spin, etc.
Opened the timer compartment on top of washer by removing two screws. Pull off knobs, wiring harness, remove mounting screw. The new timer did not fix the problem. Same malfunction exists, in both regular and permanent press.

timer bad no spin
design was on my side. the washer was structured that when you removed the screws that held down the upper timer cover, it would pivot rearward and you could gain access to the switch. you would carfully remove the knob set pin. remove knob, remove retaining screw. Slide timer sideways out of the engagement groove. remove wire connector.
... Read moreand with the new timer, do in reverse order. awesome site which was the ONLY site I actually found my model number for such an old washer. It even had the schematic that helped identify the assembly process. I will do business now the parts select for all my appliance needs for parts.

Washer fills, agitates then when it gets to the drain/spin cycle the timer stops.
Doesn't matter if it's on permanent press, delicate or heavy load it agitates and nothing more.
Is it the timer? The part number on the timer is 3953321A
For model number LSQ8543JQ0
Hello Brian, Thank you for your inquiry. You can test the timer with a multimeter to see if it is causing the issue. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. Researching the model number that you have provided, you could also be having an issue with the basket drive assembly with clutch, the clutch assembly, the direct drive motor coupling, the drive motor switch, or the drive motor. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
My washer will fill up, agitate for a few seconds then stops, it will eventually start spinning the water out itself and then starts filling back up all while the knob is still on the agitate cycle, there is a buzzing sound behind the knob. I have replaced the door lid switch 2 years ago and again yesterday, did not help again. The timer has also been replaced within the past 2 years. Does this sound like the timer again? Thank you so much for your response.
