If you notice issues like the washing machine only washing without spinning or draining, skipping or stalling mid-cycle, or getting stuck on a cycle, the timer might be malfunctioning. To diagnose this, a technician can use a multimeter to test for electrical continuity in the timer motor. A reading of infinite resistance indicates a need for replacement. Ensure the washing machine is disconnected from the power source before attempting any repairs, and it is advisable to wear protective gloves for safety.
