We have a Kenmore 2800*010, when you start a wash cycle the lid will lock, the machine will make a grinding sound, unlock the lid, re-lock the lid and sits in that state for 5 minutes before it unlocks again. Never filling or even starting the wash cycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like you have a bad lid switch. There is a tech sheet taped to the inside of the front of the cabinet. The part # is w10404050, made by whirlpool.
SOURCE: the Washing Machine fills and then empties with not running a wash cycle
possible a pressure stat fault. some pressure stats have a too high water detector which turns on pump

The symptoms you describe are typical of a lid switch malfunction. The lid switch is usually located on the right hand side under the cabinet. It is activated by a plastic piece on the lid (called a "Lid Strike") through a small hole on the right side of the wash tub opening. Make sure the lid strike is still on the lid and intact, first. Then, check the mounting screws that hold the lid switch in place (two screws along the tub rim on the right hand side). Often all that is required is to tighten up the mounting screws and this will realign the lid switch where it can be properly activated by the lid strike. If the lid switch is broken, you can find a replacement at searspartsdirect.com. Just type in your model number and look under the "Top and Cabinet" heading for item number 11 for the lid switch and item number 20 for the lid strike (if needed). If you do not wish to order online, take the part numbers provided by Sears and go to your nearest appliance parts retailer. These are common parts that most will carry in their store inventory. The following link explains how to replace the switch:

This is a very inexpensive repair that you can easily accomplish on your own. I hope you find this information helpful. If you require additional assistance, please let me know.
PS This is a common problem experienced by this line of washing machines. To prevent future failures, do not slam the washer lid or place anything heavy on the lid. Repeatedly slamming the lid to get it to work, or manipulating the timer can also cause more potential problems.
