Pump motor does not operate?

Machine is a Kelvinator, 2 speed, 9 cycle, 10.1 Kg, 3 cycles, 230 Volt. The Timer stops at CAM position 4 (appr. 59 Degree position on Regular wash cycle). Refering to Wiring Diagram 134129700, it appears that Plug-in Timer Terminal T7 and T9 may be damaged in order to complete the circuit to start the Pump and continue with the Timer Motor. I can't find Timers in Jakarta, so I am thinking of wiring/ jumpering (with a switch) Timer Terminals T7 and T9 - and of course operate only until the water drains out of the tub - unless I can find a reputable Kelvinator Dealer/ servicer in Jakarta to buy a new Timer. What do you suggest? Thanks (Note: I have 2 same machines and both are experiencing similar problems with Timers)

This is an answer to my own question. It's fixed. After performing continuity checks (with power plug off) from the "timer" terminals, realized that the "lid lock switch" terminal connections were dirty / or the switch itself is kaput. I jumpered the terminals and the machine is working thru all the cycles.
