Hi Veronica,

This is more than likely going to be the lid switch. Unplug the washer and take the back off the control panel. You should be able to see the switch. The open and close the lid to see if the actuator is hitting the switch. If not there is a spring on the lid switch actuator that may be broken.

If the actuator then the lid switch is making the switch is most likely the problem. You can check it with an ohmmeter. This page will help with using the ohmmeter How To Use An Ohmmeter
