Larry,
Thanks for your quick response to my question. My original thought was it was the timer but then the repairman at the local shop that I called to get a price said it may also be a faulty motor. I asked the same question to repairclinic.com and their response was a possible bad brake assembly or transmission bearing. I was hoping a third opinion would verify one or the other. However, if you are confident it is the timer I will go ahead and order one.
