Hi, & thanks for asking your question on JustAnswer.
It is most likey the lid switch. Look on the underside of the lid for a plastic"finger". Note the hole this "finger" goes into. Take the flat end of ma pen and push down(not too hard) on the switch. Do you hear a click?
OK- The wash motor and the pump motor are one & the same. There is a valve that determines whether the water is recirculated (wash) or pumped out (drain). The timer is definitely acting up if it took 5 hours to complete 1 cycle. I would replace it.

The cycle select is part of the timer. Unless you are refering to the solenoid that operates the gate valve which "cycles" between recirculate & pumpout. I doubt the solenoid would fail at exactly the same moment as the timer. Your timer part number is WD21X672.
