Our washer is not changing cycles and it is taking between 3-4 hours to get done, then starts the cycle over and over again. The knob that turns to the cycles does not light up to show what cycle it is on, and sometimes it won't go to a cycle that you choose. The issue has been going on for about 4-5 weeks and started out slowly but is getting worse.
