When i got it the timer does not advance. i believe that it got moved out in to someones garage and froze however nothing was hooked up so im hoping nothing busted since the ice was able to expand. The timer will not advance just sits there filling up, it drains at the same time its filling up which reading some of the FAQ i didnt know the drain had to be 3ft off the ground as its just running straight to the drain along the floor. Could that be causing the problem? what else can i check?

When this happens the water level switch never trips to tell the timer to stop filling and start washing. If you have a laundry sink next to the machine stick the drain hose in it and see if that doesn't allow the machine to run correctly. If that is not the problem then it may well be the timer, which will have to be replaced.
