Lid must be closed for spin to start.
If the lid is closed and still no spin, the sensor (switch) for the lid may be bad. If you can locate it and manually trip the sensor, you may find it out of adjustment. Yours may be on the rear-left of the top of washer.
Replacing the sensor isn't too difficult or costly...but, always-always unplug the power before you work on it.
If you have determined that it is not the sensor, give the timer a little click forward. If that works...the timer may be going bad (not advancing).
Does the spin work in other wash cycles? If so, it might be bad timer.

This is commonly caused by a lid switch malfunction. If your model number is correct, the lid switch for your washer is located under the right hand side of the washer casing along the wash tub rim. The switch is activated by a small plastic piece on the washer lid (called a "lid strike") through a small hole. The switch contacts close when you shut the lid. In many cases, the lid switch either comes loose, or the lid strike breaks off. In both cases, the washer will exhibit the symptoms you describe.
Open and close the washer lid and listen for a distinctive "clicking" sound as the switch contacts close. If you cannot hear the switch, make sure the lid strike is intact and the mounting screws for the lid switch (located around the wash tub opening on the casing) are tight. Sometimes, all it takes is to tighten the lid switch screws to realign it with the lid strike. If the switch is defective, or the strike is missing, parts can be ordered on line at searspartsdirect.com. Just type in your COMPLETE model number, which can be found on a nameplate under the washer lid. The lid switch and lid strike will be listed under the "Top and Cabinet" heading. Other sites that offer competitive pricing are repairclinic.com and appliancepartspros.com. If you require instructions on how to replace the switch, you may use the following link:
