It seems that your problem is with the lid switch and it should be replaced. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. You have to raise the top of the washer to get to the switch.
Good luck!

my aeg oko lavamat 72640 update keeps stopping in the middle of programmes. Sometimes the stop/pause button flashes but pressing it doesn't restart the programme. At other times the indicator shows a large amount of time to go but the programme can't be restarted. It all started when I tried to do a 60 degree cotton wash. I am forced to run the "drain" programme then the "rinse" and try again with different programmes. Intermittently, I am managing to do a 40 degree easycare wash but not every time. Help!
