After troubleshooting the problem I decided the most likely culprit was the lid switch so I ordered a replacement lid switch from appliancepartspro and watched the video posted there on how to replace the switch. The new switch arrived the day after I placed my order which surprised me. I tackled the job the next day following the video instructions and to my surprise the job went exactly as shown in the video. It took me all of 10 minutes to complete the repair and the washing machine is working again.
