Washing machine can't wash after water full?

Without any details other than "Washing machine can't wash after water full?" I can only offer you a few possible culprits. The timer (the dial you set) may be defective (dirty contacts, etc.) The timer relay - specifically when the water reaches its full level the circuit now "knows" it's time for the wash cycle. Transmission - might be too worn to handle the weight of a full tub (if your spin cycle works okay, I would think tranny not a problem then). Tom Ridge
