Tried bypassing the lid switch, but no difference.
Will check the timer connections next, just seems that if it was the timer that would affect all cycles and not just this one.
Nice... Front-loaders are supposed to wash better (using gravity to turn clothes), as long as the drum seal holds the water in
My wife insists on a top-loader :/ Using a newer Samsung, it holds a lot, but I'm not impressed, too many plastics and electronics, not as sturdy like the old units.

We replaced an old maytag front loader with a top loader samsung a year ago. Its been solid but ya front loaders are better, use less water.
Good deal Humby, thats basically the situation I was in last year, good price. Make sure you fill out any registration for the warranty thats required.
We hate our Samsung front loader. We have to leave the door open, otherwise it will have a moldy/mildew smell in it. We've tried tons of things to get rid of the smell. It definitely uses less water, but after 3 years with this one I'm not sure we will ever go back to a front load washer.
You only have to leave the door open for a little while and then you can shut it. If its got a smell just run it without a load of wash in there and put some vinegar in it.
on a side note, a reminder to everyone to check your dryer vent for lint buildup.
my dryer was taking 2-3 times as long to fully dry full loads this week ,today i had time to check it out and there was a ton of lint in the flexible hose that connects the dryer to the wall outlet thingamajig.
It doesn't have to be spotless, is all about it being able to move larger volumes of air, replacing or cleaning is up to you I guess When there is some damp lint sticking to the walls it tends to buildup faster though. In my experience, vent issues are usually further away from the machine, especially with long or vertical vents that go through the roof.

Mine just goes through some curves and straight through the wall to an outside vent.
Still on my list, that hose is over 20 years-old.
