My Kenmore washer will not spin on the spin cycle unless you open the lid and close it.?

Question

I have a Kenmore that I have had for about 6 years. We have replaced it twice. When it is on the spin and rince it will spin, but when its just on the spin you have to raise the lid and close it again before it will spin. How do I fix it??? Please help!!!!

It could be the lid switch but doesn't really sound like it.  Try going to
