Ok, I have a Kenmore front load washer 417.41042000 made in 2001. It fills, and starts to agitate and then starts pumping before it is done filling. When you start the cycle you can almost watch the timer move and in just a few minutes the end of cycle buzzer goes off. The drum starts to turn but then stops. With the timer loose so I can watch it there are times when the little motor drive gear kind of shutters the starts spinning again. It just seems like the timer is wrong, going to fast. And why would the pump start extracting the water before it is done filling? Does this sound like a timer issue or is this motor control board more suspect? Driving me crazy, worked the other day, first time I have had this problem in the year I have had it.

Changed the motor in the timer, still no joy
