Hello, the problem is not with your timer but it is with the speed control board, this is normally located behind the access panel below and to the rear of the tub...colors and whites spin at different speeds which is why the whites are coming out wet. If I am not mistaken when you pull the panel off at the bottom there is a tech service sheet that gives you the procedure for diagnosing the speed control board. Ultimatley you are going to have to return the timer if you can and replace the speed control board. I hope this has gone some way to help...please feel free to comment again if you have any other questions or concerns. Good Luck!!
Turn the washer over on its side and look for a broken belt or broken direct drive coupler for the tub, this is how it spins.
1) Verify a circuit breaker
isn't tripped
2) Advance the timer
control dial slowly 360 degrees-
If the washer starts
spinning, then we know the motor and drive belt are
fine but that there is something wrong with either the timer control dial or
the agitator solenoid. Call in a professional for this.
If the washer doesn't budge, then verify that the drive belt(s) is
attached and not broken by removing the back panel. If the belt is broken,
replace it. If it is loose, then tighten it by loosening up the bolt holding
the motor and moving it on its swingarm (much like a car alternator) until
there is a 1/2 to 3/4 inch deflection in the belt.
Some washers use reversing motors. It's possible the motor works on the spin
cycle but not on the wash cycle. If so, call a pro.
3) Visually inspect the lid
safety switch- Is it loose or cracked?
If so, the washer might work intermittently, stopping at different cycles.
4) Check motor and drive belt- Remove the main access panel (usually in the back). Is the motor spinning, but the drive belt isn't? If so, then you have a drive belt problem.

The washer spins on Colors cycle, ust not on whites. Replaced timer unit. No go, whites sopping wet when done.
