Did you check with an ohm meter, to see if the circuit is open?

The timer on my very old Whirlpool would jam at certain spots in
the cycle. Same deal, $75 for another timer. My usual parts house
didn't even have them. An Ebay seller had them. I took the timer
apart, cleaned it with brake cleaner, reoiled it, and it's worked
since then. That was at least two years ago.
