New washer timer and now tripping breakers

[Cdestuck]

New guy here.  Thanks for the add. So my friend has a wWhirlpool washer, model LSQ9564MQ0.  So she said her washing machine would not agitate after filling until she advanced the timer forward. 
 

So I bought a new timer and installed. Well washer filled and then went dead. Nothing.  It threw the breaker. Reset and it blew again.  Put her old timer back in and all worked ok. No breaker problem and even went through entire cycle with no problem. 
 

So I took the cabinet apart hoping to see a frayed wire or something.  Nothing obvious was seen. Now problem isn’t a faulty timer as this is the second new one, the first I thought was bad and is was replaced. 
 

So any ideas as to why old breaker won’t trip breaker but new one does?

I’ll contact the company Monday on that. This is the second new timer tripping the breaker so sort of ruled out that both new timers have been defective.  But I will contact them and go over the model vs part number.

Have run into some that have been mis packaged by the vendor ,  had to order from a different location to get one from a different batch.  This day and time it is hard to rule anything out !  Logical thinking no longer works !  lol !

If you have not solved this by finding it was the incorrect timer, you need to find out what load perhaps caused the timer contact to overheat and fail. You will need to use a test meter and the schematic to identify which contacts in the old timer are funky as they sound like they are working intermittently. This is probably the motor circuit as it tries to begin to agitate after fill from your description.
