Sounds like you have the lid switch out of the machine, or
can do so. Seems like it ought to be possible to put ohm
meter on the switch, and push the button, see if the meter
needle swings.

I am guessing that this is one of the newer machines that
doesn't have
a rotating knob and a real motor-driven timer, but rather
some fancy
and expensive electronics that will require replacing an
entire
circuit board for many$$$$.
Can you find a schematic for the machine on any of the
insides of the
sidewall, front or back wall of the machine, and can you
read
schenmatics if you find one?

My machine does have a rotating knob, but no in-line fuse,
or circuit
board. There is a schematic diagram folded up inside the
rear cover,
same schematic as what was found on line. Will take the
open lid
switch to the local appliance parts store and see if that is
the
issue.
