Kenmore Washermachine Problem

I have a Kenmore 700 Series Washing Machine.

The water fills up but doesn’t wash. I can empty the water out by moving the knob to the rinse cycle.

The repair man THINKS its the timer.

I’m without a washer now for 3 days and the clothes is piling. I understand that it takes 3 weeks or more for me to get a part delivered, therefore, I would appreciate your quick input.

My son was playing with the knob while the machine was in motion and a smell that something burned was in the air.

I would appreciate your feedback at Paul@paulrodas.com

Thank you.
