    Your program selector is knackered, mine went the same way.Either buy a new selector or if the machine is really old ,just get a new machine.If you do get a new switch make a note of where the wires go before you disconnect them ,there's quiet a lot of them.Good luck

    On every washing machine we've ever had (quite a few over the years) the dial clicks round as it's washing, you just set the start point by turning the selector to a programme and then it clicks round usually ending with 'spin' or whatever is the appropriate end for the programme you selected.

    the control switch it's self sounds to be bad...

    i would tell you how to replace but i'm not familiar with your models construction.

    do a quick search for "how to replace control switch" for your model of washer, go to your local appliance parts dealer and get the part, it should not be very expensive, $20 to 40.00, somewhere in that area, make sure you unplug or turn off breaker to the washer and just replace.

    this is an easy project for DIY

    hope this helps

    I'm afraid it is science affecting your appliance.
