Hi Kelly. Remove power. Remove the back control panel. Remove the pressure switch hose and blow back into towards the tub. Did you remove any obstruction? You will replace the pressure switch part # is W10335056. If the hose is kinked it will also give this issue. Thank you.

Leonora, You're on the right track, It most likely is an issue with the lid switch, based on your post. The switch you included could be the correct part, but there are several different switches available, depending on model and serial number of the washer, which you forgot to supply. You'll need to check the washer production tag on the machine so we can assist you with the proper part. Thanks
