Washer is spinning for about 3 secs and don't clear water out of the tube. Runs about minute and has a F code

What is a F code ? Sears top laod waher?

Hi sandyslim1 and welcome, f codes can indicate the machine is not draining, I would check for blockage or a kink in the drain hose and then pull the plug at the pump to look for blockage, socks are bad here. You can access the pump from the kick panel in the front. Good luck

Oh to answer your question on cost of timer, that's usually around $200.00, so you want to try and avoid going that route.
