You could cut both ends beyond the black and use a butt connecter to splice them together. Don't forget to unplug it first

Welcome to fixya.com
I'm Huuum and happy to assist you,

Try this method to reset your system as we sometimes do with our computer when it reacts strangely.
As with an error code.
This can reset the system.
First unplug the washer and wait a 5 minutes then restart it.
If you can't reach the plug, use the breaker to cut the power for 5 minutes.
It's like rebooting your computer when its acting strange!
Usually it corrects some error problems if they are not serious.
Or they are sometimes just a glitch.
Let me know how it works out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huuum.
How old is the appliance?

Here is an interesting report I just read.
Repair or replace?
When to pull the plug on your old refrigerator
It nearly always makes sense to undertake simple do-it-yourself repairs,
such as replacing a gasket on a refrigerator or a freezer.
Typically, you'll also find a troubleshooting section for more-serious problems
in the owner's manual.
Should you pay for a repair or buy a new model?
The answer depends mostly on the age of your refrigerator,
how much you bought it for,and the cost of the repair.
Follow these guidelines:
When a repair makes sense.
If your refrigerator is under warranty or less than four years old (three years for top-freezers),
paying for a repair makes sense.
Note that refrigerators under warranty might require service from a factory-authorized technician;
readers have found them on a par with independent repairers.
When a repair might be a wise choice.
If your refrigerator is out of warranty and is four to seven years old,
it might make sense to pay for a repair. Customers generally pay $100 to $200 for a repair.
But you might want to buy a new model even at this stage,
given that today's models are quieter and have added features.
Higher energy efficiency is another plus: Energy Star-qualified models made after April 28, 2008,
are 43 percent more efficient than conventional models built before 2001 and 56 percent
more efficient than those built before 1993.
When it pays to replace.
The repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new refrigerator.
Data also shows that it doesn't pay to fix a less-expensive top-freezer refrigerator
six or more years old or a bottom-freezer or side-by-side eight or more years old.
Thanks to better recycling programs, less than 10 percent
of a refrigerator you replace is likely to end up in a landfill.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help!

Hi, check the following trouble spots below. you will find the issue in one or, all the areas stated.
1. No power to the washer
Make sure there's power getting to the washer. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for power. Sometimes the power cord disconnects at the washer, if this is the case, the wiring must be repaired or replaced.
2. Lid switch/door switch
The washing machine may not function if the lid switch or door switch is defective. The switch is usually located near the door. Replace if found defective.
**If you are getting power to the washer and, step 1 and 2 check out ok, replace the timer control and start switch as well.(You can test the continuity or, resistance level of the Lid switch with a multimeter(ohm).

Sounds like a timer switch malfunction.
SOURCE: rinse cycle gets stuck
Most models have a timer relay that times out when a cycle is over. It may be located behaind the front panel - It's worth a shot

If the catch is broken you are going to need to get at it from inside to release it.
This is usually best done by taking the top or back off and reaching in to release the lock.
Make sure you disconnect the electricty and water before trying this.
