Default I am pretty good but my washing machine just completely dead

My washing machine makes no noise or anything. I tested these things.
I checked the power cord with load to where it end in the timer area.
I checked to see if the faucets are on. It is a machine that will fill
even if the lid is open. I open the back and the wiring looked clean
and fine. I tried all water levels and temp settings. I tried all
three of the washes available on the timer knob. I tried the timer in
all various cycles. I manually filled the machine with normal water
levels. I checked the intake screens of both hot and cold. Any
ideas that I might not know or able to come up with?


Check the lid interlock switch. Check for a thermal overload switch on the
motor.

I did check the cord on the same outlet with a equivalent load. The
lid interlock switch is in front of me now. But how does it work? It
has four connectors named , neut, line, moter, machine. I would hook
up a meter to neut and line and how do I test the two other connectors
and what do I look for when the switch is in lid closed position.
