Answer

Hi Angel. Remove power. You Can Strip a 3' piece of insulated wire and bypass the switch. Unhook the connector and jump the gray and white wires. This should allow the neutral to complete the circuit to the motor. The lid switch will test OK, but not allow the power to pass through. This part # is WP8318084. If that is OK, then try to bypass the violet and tan wires (bypass) on the pressure switch(at control panel with the hose). This part # is W10339326. You can also call for "wash" and use a hose of the same size,blow into it towards the pressure switch and see if it will close the contacts in the pressure switch. Thank you.
