The reason that a Inglis machine will not advance to the next cycle is contingent on the type of washer that you have.
A top-load Inglis washing machine will not advance to the spin or drain cycle if a broken lid switch is telling the timer that the washer lid is open. A Inglis washer that doesn’t complete the cycle may have a damaged timer or an inoperable pressure switch for the water level. On a vertical modular top-load Inglis washer, a bad shifter assembly or a failed drain pump could cause the washing machine mid-cycle. A lot of suds may cause the washer to stop working before the cycle finishes. For the front load Inglis washer, a malfunctioning door lock assembly for the washer or a malfunctioning main electronic control board, or faulty motor control board can cause the Inglis washer from concluding a cycle. If the washer notices any issue, it will send a code of error to the controller board. This can result in the cycle having to be stopped.

The lid switch on top-load Inglis washers is a safety switch that determines whether the lid is shut. The lid must be shut when the basket spins. should the Inglis washer incorrectly senses that the lid is closed the machine will not spin or drain after the wash cycle. Certain top-load Inglis models need the lid of the washer to be closed prior to the time the drive motor starts to spin. Top-load Inglis washers that are top-load will not fill up if the lid is open. If the lid switch isn’t detecting whether the lid is shut, replace the switch.
Change the Inglis washer-shifter assembly
The bottom of the gearbox is where the shifter assembly is located, often referred to as an actuator-in-a top-load washer. The motor in the shifter assembly moves the drive system from the spin mode to the agitation. The movement of the drive system is monitored through a sensor that is mounted on the shifter. If the motor, sensor or mechanical parts of the assembly fail, the washing machine will stop and emits an error message. Replace the shifter assembly if it malfunctions.

It controls the speed of the drive motor and the direction in which it’s directed to for motions of the spin and tumble. If the motor does not run it’s possible that the motor control board may need to be replaced.
Replace the Inglis washer water-level pressure switch
The water-level pressure switch measures the level of water in the tub. If the pressure switch for water level is defective, the washer won’t fill properly.
