check the lid switch...it must be faulty and unable to sense the direction of the spin....

Most likely the timer is defective.

water level switch

check pump for blockage.........

Typically this is a sign that the timer switch is sticking and needs to be replaced. I have also found that sometimes a faulty speed selector switch can cause a similar problem, but more than likely it is the timer switch.

Many select their own possitions for the timer to reduce water usage. Often it is border line where the spin cycle is activated. Try from the beginning, and if it still malfunctions, not question, the timer will need to be replaced. (very basic machine with no noncense activations).

I've had the same experience with my Speed Queen washer. Approached the accredited Speed Queen agents for assistance, when tech support was deployed to diagnose the problem.
In the end, I was told that the "timer" went bust. So the wash cycle seems to work 100%, but when it comes to rinse and spin the contacts on the timer don't make contact, and the motor waits in anticipation for it's next command, and that the high pitch noise heard.

Its sounds like you need a replacement knob, if you can turn the disc behind it to start a cycle and the machine times out find the timer is probably still good, do a Google search for Speed Queen parts, and buy the correct replacement knob.
