The overload protector is in the motor. Once it heats up, it trips. You likely have something not moving to cause it to trip. Pull your washer forward and tilt it back to about a 45 degree angle. (it will rest against the wall behind it instead of falling forward) Remove the belt and rotate all 3 pulleys to make sure they are moving freely. If the pump pulley (the one on the right hand side)doesn't rotate, you likely have a forign object in there or just a bad pump. If the transmission pulley (the large one in the middle) doesn't rotate, check for forign objectes between the tub and backet. If the one on the left doesn't rotate, it's time for a new motor.

Lid switch is still most likely the problem. Are you able to unplug washer from wall and check the wire connected to the switch.

You will need to replace the lid switch. If you could post the model number under the lid, I will be able to direct you to the part you need.Here is a video to show you how to make the repair.

Motor Coupling
If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor
coupling might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to
the washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is
overloaded in order to protect both the motor and
Drive Belt
If the washer won't spin or agitate, check
the drive belt. If the belt is broken or if it isn't tight on the
pulleys the washer won't spin or agitate properly.
Drive Motor
If the washer won't spin or agitate the drive
motor might be defective. This is not common. Check all of the other
related parts to this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor
is visibly burned out or physically damaged, replace it.
Stator Assembly
If the washer won't spin or agitate the
stator assembly might be burned out. The stator is essentially one half
of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong
electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or
agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often
misdiagnosed.
Door or Lid Latch Assembly
If the washer won't spin or agitate the lid
switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The
lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test
any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches
should have continuity according to their design.
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly
If the washer won't spin or agitate the door
lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either
mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an
Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their
design.
Motor Control Board
If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor
control board might be defective. The motor control board provides
power to the motor as well as direction and force. If the motor control
board is defective the washer may not work at all or function properly.
