How to test a washer lid switch.
If the washer agitates but does not pump the water out or spin, chances are the lid switch may be defective. This washer lid switch can be tested to confirm that it conducts electricity. This is done using an ohmmeter.
Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply, then disconnect the wires from the lid switch. Using an ohmmeter check for resistance between the two wire connectors. Make sure that the lid is closed to ensure that the lid switch contacts are closed. If the switch is good, it will have zero resistance, or continuity, which is zero resistance.
