All of a sudden my washer quit, I noticed that the timer will advance
to rinse cycle, proceed to rinse (washes in rinse water), and finally
spin dry.

However the cycle where it is supposed to wash (wash in soap) just
advances normally without washing, until the rinse cycle kicks in, and
then everything works fine.

I am lost, could this be the timer?

This happens on any cycle, warm, hot, cold, delicate, etc.

TIA

Yeah, probably if you need odds... timers are fairly frequent failure
points.

Is there another cycle you can use perchance? If it's broken on one
cycle/range of the timer, and okay on another that would strongly
suggest a timer problem. If th eproblem moves with the cycle, it
still may be the timer as the issue, but that opens the possibility to
other goodies too.
