lets see if we cant get the water out ,,, there are a screw in each end of the control panel ,,, remove those and tile the control panel up and back ,, there is a wiring plug for the lid switch ,, unplug it with the washer unplugged and take a paper clip and make a U and stick it into the two outter plugs on the plug that runs from the control panel, set the washer to spin and plug up and turn on ,,, and let me know if this works and i can go from there fixing this unit

I'm afraid after "take off the control panel" we are lost in the maze of wires and completely unsure what to do.

after you raise the control panel the plug on the cabinet by the lid is the one to unplug

you will need to replace the lid switch ,,, from where your at now all you have to do is pop out the two hold down clamps and slide the cabinet off and swap out the switch ,,, part number is 285671 and cost $35.18 and you can get one at a local appliance parts dealer or online at www3.sears.com / thanks and if no other questions please hit the accept button and have a good evening / larry
