Lid switch is out

I would recommend you replace the lid switch rather than by-passing it. The following link explains how:

The lid switch is a safety feature that is to protect the consumer from the high speed rotation of the wash tub and the agitator. If you by-pass it, you will need to push in the timer PRIOR to opening the lid in order for the tub to stop. I would recommend by-passing as a last resort (temporary repair) while awaiting a new switch.

To by-pass a lid switch, follow the steps in the link provided to open the console. Make sure the washer is UNPLUGGED. Locate the white lid switch connector and unplug it. Remove the washer exterior case and remove the lid switch from under the washer casing. With the lid switch in your hand, cut the connector plug off, leaving about 2 inches of wire. Remove the green (center wire) from the plug and crimp the two black wires together. You have just made yourself a by-pass plug. Plug this back into the connector on the timer and the washer will now operate without the lid switch.

As I stated before, you will need to push in the timer prior to opening the lid to stop the tub. You can save the plug for future use, but use only as a temporary fix.

Replacement switches are available at searspartsdirect.com, appliancepartspros.com, repairclinic.com, and pcappliancerepair.com. They don't cost much and I provided you with easy instructions to follow.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

This is a great recommendation. Bypassing the lid switch (which I did by following these directions) will fix the problem temporarily while you get your replacement switch. But, after I disconnected my wires from the switch, I realized that I could have fixed the switch itself without having to get a new one. The glue holding the whole plastic lid switch together was simply not working any well more and the two parts were kind of hanging apart. If I held the top and bottom of the switch together, it clicked again the way it should. I could have fixed the whole thing with a strong rubber band and saved myself the $35 part and hassle of having to go back and replace it. Or, it would have been an easier temporary fix (instead of bypassing) while I got a new switch. So, check if holding the switch together will get it to click again and then maybe you won't have to bypass.
