You need to replace the lid lock. the latch probably broke in 2, and the broken part is whats keeping the lid closed. if you have clothes inside you can open the top by using a putty knife to release the front clips holding the top of the machine down. push each clip in and lift up. you will also be able to access the lid lock this way.

I have the Whirlpool Topload Cabrio washing machine and it will be a year old on Jan. 15, 2011. It is really starting to stink up my laundry room. I have run the wash cycle through with distilled vinegar...

Here is what I do. I run "Tide Washing Machine Cleaner" thru the washer first with HOT water. Then, I recommend running a rinse only with hot water & bleach to rinse the washer out really well and don't forget to leave the lid opened when the washer is not in use.

The lid lock is broken, can it be unhooked, machine will not engage with lid unlocked.

Following is the Whirlpool service manual for their Cabrio washer, basically the same as the Kenmore Oasis.

It has a troubleshooting section as well as diagrams and instructions concerning the Lid Lock.

Whirlpool cabrio-buzzing noise when water runs

i think the problem that you have is one of the electric coils from the entrance valve from water. Check if there the vibration comes from there.
