If the lid does not lock the safety controls will not allow a spin. Look for a broken lid lock - either the lock assembly or the small latch finger that inserts into the lock.
With no model number there is no way to be more precise. Sears Kenmore is sourced from more than one supplier (manufacturer) and there are literally thousands of models over the years.

I would say that the lock has failed. Either the lock itself or maybe the pin or latch that fits into it when you close the door may have cracked / broken. If the machine thinks the door / lid is still open, it wont let you start it.
Your washer lid lock button is locked and lid was not put down before it locked, which is why the light is flashing. Therefore, push the "START" button until you see the lid lock button is off (Approx 3 seconds). Once it is off, then you can put the lid down and push the start button again, which will lock the lid into place. The washer will NOT drain or wash or spin unless the lid itself is in the locked position. If you were able to get the lid down and locked and it still doesn't work, then you need a technician to replace a wiring harness. However, you mentioned that the lid lock button was flashing, therefore, it stands to reason that your lid is NOT locked down.
Swich off the machine, try some WD40 on the door mechanism (on machine lock, not on the door) and open & shut for a minute or two. Then try the machine, spin only just to try.
Possible that the switch is defective, there is fault in the line to the control unit from the switch of the control unit is faulty. check these one by one.
Kenmore top load washer 21302, the sensor light is on and the lid lock light is on with a clicking noise. What could be wrong with it and how do I fix it?
