Water Inlet Valve
First check the hoses that connect to the water inlet valve. Remove
these completely there should be a screen in at least one end and maybe
both ends. Clean these screens. Next check the back of the water inlet
valve screens and remove and clean. If cleaning these out does not
correct the problem you will need to check to make sure you have power
going to the water inlet valve. Most top loaders will have 120 volts
going to the valve. Check each solenoid on the valve. You will need to
have the washer on and turned to a fill cycle when checking. If you have
power and still no water replace the water inlet valve. No power replace the control.
see the diagram attached
Control / Timer
This is less likely the problem but can fail. If you have no power going
to the water inlet valve when selecting a fill cycle the timer/ control
has failed and you will need to replace the timer.

The most common cause of the symptoms you describe is a lid switch malfunction.
The lid switch is usually mounted under the washer top casing, on the right hand side on most top load models. It is activated by a plastic piece on the lid (called a "Lid Strike") through a small hole on the rim of the wash tub opening. In many cases the lid strike breaks off the lid, or the lid switch becomes loose and no longer makes contact. Inspect the lid to make sure the lid strike is still intact, and then inspect the mounting screws (adjacent to the small opening on the wash tub rim) and make sure they are snug. If you determine the switch to be defective, the following link explains how to replace one:

On some models, the lid switch is located under the top casing by one of the lid hinges. You will know if you if you have this type of switch, because It does not have a lid strike and the small hole on the right hand side of the wash tub will not be present. This switch is actuated (toggled) by a rod on the lid hinge. With this type of switch, if you locate it and it can be toggled by hand, you may only need to adjust the actuator by bending it slightly.
A replacement lid switch (if required) can be purchased at any of the following web sites:
searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com
The average price is about $20 - $30. Prices differ between sites so shop and compare.
If you have questions, need additional assistance, please post back with your model number (located on a nameplate along the wash tub opening under the washer lid), so I can provide you with better assistance. I hope this helps you.

I believe you need to replace the Spin Solenoid. Your machine is not switching over to spin/wash.
It is a very cheap part to replace, and can be bought at your nearest Home Appliance Part Store.
