The lid switch controls the rinse and spin cycles.
If the lid switch is bad the cycle fails to advance.
Replace your lid switch.

If the motor is not running in spin cycle, check the lid switch.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer.

The first thing I'd try is using a different cycle. If the washer works as it should, the problem points to the timer.

I'd also check to make sure that when replacing the switch, the connections to the timer haven't come loose.

Since you've replaced the Lid Switch, the motor has power for the drain and spin cycles.

These washers use a reversing motor. The motor turns one way for agitating and reverses for the drain and spin.

Since you cannot hear anything when it is supposed to be agitating, the problem does point to the timer or motor.

If it sits there with water and doesn't drain or spin, it thinks the lid is open. Try depressing the lid switch and see if you hear a click. Try replacing the lid switch.

Bad cycle timer switch.

check the lid switch some washers will fill and was with the lid open but will not spin, if the lid is closed manually actuate the lid switch or bypass it electrically, or replace it.

It could be the lid switch or the timer.

The lid switch is ususlly the first to go. Luckily, it is easy to replace. To test the washer, connect the lid switch wires together. If the washer spins, you need to replace the switch.
