If your washer stops when it gets to the spin cycle, this is usually a symptom of a lid switch malfunction. The lid switch is usually located on the right hand side under the cabinet. It is activated by a plastic piece on the lid (called a "Lid Strike") through a small hole on the right side of the wash tub opening. Make sure the lid strike is still on the lid and intact, first. Then, check the mounting screws that hold the lid switch in place (two screws along the tub rim on the right hand side). Often all that is required is to tighten up the mounting screws and this will realign the lid switch where it can be properly activated by the lid strike. If the lid switch is broken, It must be replaced. Please post back and let me know if you require replacement parts. This is not an expensive repair. On average, a new switch runs about $25 - $35. The following link explains how to replace the switch:
