All washers have a safety switch on the on lid. There is usually a slot that a plastic pin goes into to activate the switch. These switches are high failure parts. The switch is located on the underside of the top deck. It should check 0 ohms when closed. You can also jump it but then it would NOT stop when the lid is open ie; during agitation or spin cycle ( a safety hazard).
The lid has to be closed for agitate and spin. The lid switch is loose or defective. Open the control console to retrieve the mini service manual. Follow the steps to access the lid switch and repair.
