Good day,
That is usually the lid switch. Below is an excellent tutorial on changing it.
Be aware there are 3 locations for the screws that hold the console. Bottom left and right, bottom left and right but hidden by plastic end caps that have to be unclipped, and lastly at the rear of the console.
Also, there are 3 different lid switch kits, so take the old one with you when you go to the appliance parts house.

Your lid switch is defective.
Use the attached video link to open the cabinet to change out the lid switch.

Star washing went get to rinse circle stop, press stop bottom and start bottom tries to start but not work

if you're saying it dies in the rinse cycle you could have a problem with your cold water not coming into the washer,the washer only uses cold water in rinse cycle,no cold water the washer won't run,try starting it just with cold water and see if it fills,if not bad water valve or problem with water in house valve or bad hose.

My clothes stink so bad from my front end LG washer! My co-worker on my first week of work started buying bath and body sprays and body wash leaving it on my desk. I'm so pissed off because my washer was...

My LG stunk too. I did the tub washing with 1 cup bleach and wiping the rim, leaving everything open, nothing worked. I added 2 cups of a 6% bleach and used the tub cleaning cycle, rinsed with an empty hot water cycle then added bleach-able clothes to the 2nd hot water rinse (the third cycle/step). It gets a very strong bleach smell so don't take a whiff if you open the door in the first 2 cycles! After I did the strong bleach cycle, I am able to treat with just the 1 cup bleach about every 3 or 4 weeks and I make sure to wash with a hot water wash every week and a half at the least. This seems to keep my clothes smelling fresh like they should. Before I bought the LG, I read where people turned up the amount of water the washer takes in but I can't find the link that said how to do that. I think it was 1/4 turn on a screw on the top of the machine (when you take the cover off) but I can't guarantee how to do that.

Bath towels smell sour

I started adding 1 cap of bleach with 1 cup of water to all my loads in the bleach dispenser and this stopped the smell problem with my sweaty clothes.Sour towels i fixed with using Win high performance sports detergent plus my usual dose of he detergent along with a 2nd rinse.Keep the lid open when not in use always.

Bosch classixx 1000 washing machine - stops on spin

Washing machine stops at the spin cycle - light flashes. Have to drain water out manually. Happened last week and was then able to run an empty rinse cycle. Machine worked normally for another week. Same problem today but have had to drain water manually from the drum after trying an empty 90 wash and rinse cycle (both stopped on the Spin and flashed). Any ideas? Thanks. x

Water smelling

Although it might not be the most ecological solution, you might add a small amount of bleach to the container, once a week (let it act for some hours before you use the washing machine again - at night for example). I'm pretty sure it will help! Good luck!
