You and k hit the nail on the head. After reading your message I went out
and checked the plunger/switch lid and the plunger was there but the switch
thingie had fallen down on top of the tub. Looked as tho it had rusted out.
Appliance repair guy coming Monday. Thanks to all for their response.

what the problem is and is it expensive to repair.

Hi,

No mention of washer make, model#, approx age??....but some direct
drive style washers ( some Kenmores, Whirlpools ) will fill and agitate
only but will not spin or drain if the lid switch/lid switch probe is
bad.
