Satchmo876, if your machine has the lid switch design triggered by a striker on the edge of the lid, check if the striker is broken. If so, that's the problem. Push the lid switch actuator with your finger or a suitable object. You should hear it click faintly and the motor should come on. If no click and the motor doesn't run, then the lid switch itself may be the problem. A friend had this problem a couple months ago, the actuator on the switch was cracked so the switch didn't trigger (not broken completely off, they fixed it by gluing the actuator). The lid switch does not come into play during agitation, only during spin/drain. Replacing the switch requires removing the machine's cabinet. Report back here what you find on whether the switch works or not, and I (or perhaps someone else) can provide instructions on how to remove the cabinet. If you do hear the switch click but the motor still doesn't run, then the problem turns to the timer or motor (although the switch could still be at fault, would have to test it with a volt/ohm meter to be sure).

The pump itself has *nothing* to do with reversing the motor for spinning/draining. That is done electrically through the timer.
