Why does the Kenmore washing machine not move out of the wash cycle

applianceswashing-machine

While doing laundry this weekend, it seemed like the washer was taking a very long time to get through 1 regular load. I finally went to check on it and found that it never moved from the very first wash cycle. I am able to move the cycle knob manually to go through the rest of the cycles, but it won't move on its own.

I have a Kenmore 500 series washer.

Its probably the timer mechanism itself. You can enter your model here and get an idea of part cost:
