If your washer lid switch has only 2 wires going to it, AND it’s an older washer design that doesn’t lock but it stops spinning when you lift the lid, then you can connect those 2 wires together to bypass the swith. If you don’t know that GROUND is ALWAYS green then you don’t need to do any electrical DIY repairs.

Newer washers with a lid lock and indicator lights that blink, you can not bypass the switch. These have more than 2 wires because it’s not one switch. They have several switches and even a magnetic switch that is activate when the lid is closed. You can duplicate it by putting to wires together.

They are a huge inconvenience and most fail due to suds and water. Sometimes cleaning w/small brush is all it needs. If it doesn’t, you’ll need a new one. UNPLUG THE WASHER BEFORE CLEANING OR REPAIRING ANYTHING.
