Washer agitates while filling, fills during spin cycle

Hi,

I have a Kenmore Elite washer that has recently been finishing the wash/spin cycle full of water. It has also started agitating while water is being added at the beginning of the wash cycle (as long as the lid is closed).

I have already checked the water level sensor switch as follows -

  1. Removed the tube from the switch end and blew air into the tub. No problems there.

  2. Removed the tube from the tub end and blew air into the switch - I can hear the switch click.

  3. Tested the switch for continuity when the hose has only air in it (open) and when I am blowing into it (closed).

I also observed the tub filling to the proper levels at each setting on the load size dial.

So I suspect the timer from what I’ve read online.

What are your thoughts? How can I test the timer on this model to confirm it is bad if so? I have attached a wiring diagram if this is helpful. Thanks for any help you can give.
