My Kenmore Hvy Duty 80 Series Washing Machine Won't Agitate/Spine?

Suspect the "lid closed" switch. Look to see if the pin on the lid is contacting switch housed under the rim. Look to see if the switch itself is OK... two screws will allow you to pull it out to see if the crossarm on the switch is cracked/broken. The switch is an easily found replacement part. You can probably figure out what to do while waiting for the part.
