GE washing machine Model WWA8310PALWH. Washer doesn't start agitating until dial reaches 3 cycles! e.g. if you start it on 9 or 12, the dial will eventually go down to 3, but nothing happens during the higher cycles.

That's an oldie..end of GE's good home laundry...it's the #4sw-one with most wires on it-if you're going to repair; replace the #1 sw also[has 2 wires to it[be ahead of the game as it's going to go-[washer won't work-agt or spin]..DON'T take timer apart-you won't be able to get it back together w/o knowing the trick..rather; with the whole consol laying down-everything still connected- just take the screw, holding the sw in, out and wiggle[carefuly] the sw out..P/S just looked these parts up-NLA but RepairClinic says they have them?????? #1sw-wh12x94--#4sw wh12x97

That's an 1987 washer. look-ups only avail on micro-fiche..timer was never avail OEM as a complete unit..i looked on e-bay, sellers for those sw's..remembered the #'s from back in the day. as to dial it's probably a wh11x91, but you'd have to go to a parts dist and have them look it up to be sure..
