Washer won't go to next cycle

My washer will fill with water, and then agitate and wont stop until i manually shut it off or change the cycle. Same for the spin…just keeps spinning. The spinning stops if I open the lid so it rules out the lid switch. Is the timer the only thing left that I can check?

Yes, sounds like a faulty timer.
