Found out why SO was tripping the breaker on the dryer when he was doing clothes while I was sick.
Washer is still randomly pissing on the clothes before it shuts off.
Repairman said timer, I said switch...needless to say the dingy blonde is right and he was wrong, but not sure it's worth it to call him up call him out on it, the new timer he bought for it was around $75 (he showed me the slip) and I'm sure he's tossed the old one by now.
Looks like I'm going to be out $60 + for the switch. For now I've been tapping it on top of the temp switch as per suggested online and it behaves for about 3 or 5 loads.
