I had the same problem today. It was the lid switch. Plastic switch cracked
at screws and would not make it work. We don't have children so I just cut
the wires and used a wire nut and tape. Go here for a lot of help:

I should have mentioned that it is a top loading washer and it seems to
do everything in order as it should, except
when it comes time to empty the water everything stops and the timer
does NOT advance.
