Because this part takes a lot of wear and tear, it is prone to break. Thus, it is one of the most common reasons why washing machines stop at the spin cycle.

Similarly, you can touch the lid switch to see if the spring underneath is functioning properly. If you press down on the lid switch and it does not give or spring back into place, then there is likely a problem with the lid switch. [6] X Research source

Be sure to unplug the washing machine before unscrewing any components.

The multimeter should recognize continuity when you press the lid switch down, as would happen if the door were closed, but should not recognize continuity if the button is not pressed down.

After the lid switch has been replaced, you will need to reinstall the console and plug the machine back into the wall.

If the tube is unplugged, then the washer might begin to work again if you properly reinsert it into the pressure switch.

There are three separate plugs, which also means that there are three pairs of connections to test with the multimeter. Test each of these pairs separately. There should be connectivity between all of the pairs. If the washing machine isn’t filling up or is filling up with too much water, that is a good sign that there is an issue with the pressure switch or water level control valve.
