Kenmore 80 series wont spin or drain properly

Machine fills up like it's supposed to and goes though the first agitation cycle then when it's supposed to drain and spin it stops.
Twice I've been able to restart it by unplugging it for a while and then plugging it back in.

Then it drains. Looking for some direction

Most likely lid switch. On top under lid is a slot that is the switch. Put washer in spin and turn on put hand under switch and pull body of switch up. Use a pen or screwdriver and push down on lever thorough slot while holding switch. If spins now switch is bad.
On console there are 2 plastic caps on end. They pop off and than there are 2 screws/ remove screws and pull and lift console. it will hinge up and back. Unplug lid switch. 2 gold colored clips take them off. cabinet will come off and than you can replace switch.
Post model # your's may be different.

It used to be lid switch.....now it's a lid switch assembly. Costs a little more for the extra wiring you don't need.
