Bread machine stuck in kneading mode

I have a Breadman brand TR-441 bread maker I bought second hand. It is a much older model and any relevant information I can find online is for much newer models. The issue is that it doesn’t stop kneading until the bake cycle engages. It should knead, rest, knead, rise, or then bake. It just keeps mixing/kneading for an hour then straight into bake. I bought this primarily as a dough maker and I can use it like it is by mixing and kneading the dough then turning it off. However, if anyone has experience or insight as to why this is happening, I’d love to hear it. I have soldering experience and ability, a full station available, etc but don’t want to make it less functional than it currently is with no idea where to even start
