Whirlpool washer fixed - would not drain or spin

Our ten year old washer would not drain or spin.

This website was very useful.

"If the lid switch is defective, the washing machine may not agitate or function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it."

Clip of lid switch bypassed for testing purposes (not safe DO NOT try this way). I'm an engineer so I wrote myself a waiver of liability.
